Alex Elliott brings proven in-state pedigree and upside to NDSU’s linebacker room
Elliott is a 6-foot-2, 219-pound junior linebacker for North Dakota State who arrived after two seasons in Minnesota’s program and an injury-sidelined 2025 at NDSU, so his on-field Bison resume is still a blank slate. The appeal is his profile: a former Minnesota all-state defender with 104 tackles as a senior, plus three sacks, three interceptions, and three forced fumbles, which points to a physical, playmaking LB with range and instincts. He looks like a fit for teams valuing toughness, special-teams potential, and developmental upside rather than immediate production.[9][1]
