Elijah Green brings veteran power and versatility to Sam Houston’s backfield
Elijah Green, a redshirt senior RB for Sam Houston in the 2025 season, has been a steady dual-threat contributor: 391 rushing yards on 58 carries with 2 rushing TDs, plus 133 receiving yards and 1 receiving TD. At 5-foot-11, 210 pounds, he brings a compact, physical build with enough burst to finish plays and enough receiving ability to stay on the field in multiple packages. The big value here is experience — he’s a multi-transfer veteran from North Carolina and Indiana, which adds polish, resilience, and a ready-made, no-nonsense fit for a team needing reliability in the backfield.
