Elijah Hamilton gives Colgate a rangy, veteran presence at linebacker
In the 2025 season, Elijah Hamilton was a fifth-year captain for Colgate and showed up as a tone-setting linebacker with 12 tackles, 11 solo stops, and a forced fumble in the Syracuse game, while finishing the year with 12 tackles total on Fox Sports and 55 career tackles on Colgate’s roster page[1][4][9][13]. His value goes beyond the box score: Colgate listed him as a captain, and his profile points to a steady, assignment-sound defender who has earned trust through experience, toughness, and leadership. If you want a physical, dependable linebacker who helps organize the defense and won’t get rattled, Hamilton fits the bill nicely[1][13].
