polished, experienced UCA passer with proven production
McElvain is a seasoned Central Arkansas quarterback who brought real production to the Bears, including 2,477 passing yards and 24 touchdowns with just five interceptions in the 2023 season, and he was a unanimous preseason All-UAC pick in 2024[10]. At 5-foot-11 and about 185 pounds, he wins with accuracy, timing, and poise more than pure arm talent, and his Manning Passing Academy invite says plenty about his QB feel and reputation[1][13]. If you want a smart, steady distributor who can run an offense cleanly, he’s your guy; if you need a big-bodied, rocket-armed improv artist, not so much[1][10].
