the local-Michigan linebacker with QB grit and special-teams edge
McElvany’s calling card is versatility and toughness: he was a two-way high school standout at Milan, then worked his way into Eastern Michigan’s lineup as a linebacker and special-teams contributor, appearing in four games in 2023 and one in 2022. He isn’t a stat-sheet popper yet, but his background as a former quarterback, team captain, and all-state performer suggests high football IQ, leadership, and a relentless motor. For a team that values developmental upside, special teams value, and a player who brings edge from day one, he’s a sneaky-solid fit.
