Elijah Gunn brings veteran size and interior grit to Cincinnati’s defensive line
In the 2025 season, Elijah Gunn appeared in six games for Cincinnati and was credited with one combined tackle, but his real value is the sturdy 6-foot-0, 307-pound frame and prior production at Southern Illinois, where he posted 19 tackles in the 2024 season. He looks like a compact, experienced interior lineman who can hold the point, eat blocks, and compete at nose tackle or defensive tackle; that kind of body type travels in any defensive room. If you want a rotational run-stuffer with developmental upside and a blue-collar edge, he’s worth a look.
