Elijah Elliss is an emerging Utah linebacker with real juice as a disruptive run-and-hit defender
In the 2025 season, Elijah Elliss played in all 13 games for Utah and finished with 18 tackles, 3.0 tackles for loss, and 2.0 sacks, with his best outing coming against Colorado when he posted five tackles, 2.0 TFL, and a sack. He’s a compact, physical LB at 6-foot-2 and 225 pounds who already contributes on defense and special teams, and Utah projected him in a 2026 two-deep spot as the Utes reshuffled their linebacker room. If you want toughness, pursuit speed, and upside, he’s a sneaky-good fit.
