Cord Yates is a compact, high-academic Elon wideout with upside
Cord Yates enters the 2026 season as an Elon wide receiver with a strong prep résumé and a reputation for toughness, leadership, and coachability. In high school, he piled up 54 catches for 910 yards and 10 touchdowns as a senior, then earned major district and regional honors; at Elon, he was recognized on the spring 2025 academic honor roll and listed as a redshirt freshman at 5'8", 160 pounds. The fit is clear: quick, reliable, and detail-oriented, Yates looks like a smart depth add for a team that values instincts, effort, and steady route craftsmanship over flash.
