Theo Elwell is a rising, physical Navy tight end with real roster momentum
In the 2025 season, Theo Elwell earned his first collegiate starts and played in 9 games, then entered 2026 listed at 6-foot-5, 255 pounds after adding 14 pounds in the offseason—a strong sign Navy likes his development arc[1]. He’s a big-bodied, multi-sport athlete from McIntosh who brought length, toughness, and growth potential to the Midshipmen, and his climb from no varsity action in 2024 to meaningful snaps in 2025 suggests a player the staff trusts[1][4]. The fit question is simple: if a team wants a TE who can keep getting stronger and become a reliable in-line presence, Elwell has the kind of Navy-made upside worth paying attention to[1].
