Versatile LIU OL with a hard-nosed, coachable profile
Elias Batten brings a blue-collar, dependable presence to LIU’s offensive line, and his background suggests he’s built for the trenches—Bolles/Hudl listings show him as a multi-position lineman, while LIU’s coaching staff singled him out in 2022 as one of the team’s “Most Improved” players, a strong signal of work ethic and growth. ESPN lists him as an LIU Sharks offensive lineman, and while public game logs are limited, the clearest differentiator here is developmental upside: physical, adaptable, and likely valued for consistency, toughness, and willingness to earn snaps. A solid fit for a program prioritizing grit and progression.
