Rutgers OL Jayden Elijah brings big-frame upside and athleticism
Jayden Elijah is a 2025 Rutgers offensive tackle prospect whose appeal is his rare combination of size and movement skills; at 6-foot-7 and 280 pounds, he was described as a “big-time” addition with major Power Five offers and ranked by 247Sports as the No. 16 prospect in New Jersey and No. 43 OT in his class. [5] He also has a multi-sport background in basketball, which often translates to better coordination and balance in pass protection and at the second level.
