Elijah Abass Shereef brings proven big-play upside to New Haven’s backfield
Shereef arrives at New Haven as a freshman running back with a proven track record of efficiency and volume, posting 1,014 rushing yards and 14 rushing touchdowns in the 2023-24 season at St. Thomas Aquinas while averaging 7.9 yards per carry. He profiles as an explosive, productive runner who can handle meaningful touches and create offense without needing elite size, and his high school production suggests immediate upside if he adapts quickly to the college level. New Haven’s roster lists him as active, but no current-season stats are available yet, so his fit will depend on how fast his physical, downhill style translates to the Chargers’ offense.[1][2][3][5]
