Landyn Backey is Elon’s big-play slot weapon with serious YAC juice
In the 2025 season, Landyn Backey led Elon’s receivers with 26 catches for 457 yards and 4 touchdowns, averaging an eye-popping 17.6 yards per catch, and Elon’s preseason camp report says he was the team’s primary slot receiver in all 12 games. He’s a good fit if your offense wants a quick, tough, explosive pass-catcher who can work the middle and stress defenses vertically; the pattern of long gains suggests real after-the-catch burst, not just empty-volume production.
