Elijah Gutierrez is a developmental Drake DB with a clean slate and room to climb
Elijah Gutierrez is listed by Drake as a defensive back, but he did not see game action in the 2024 season, so he enters 2026 as more of a developmental evaluation than a proven production piece.[3] His appeal is the upside of a college-ready frame and positional flexibility from his high-school recruiting profile, where he was listed at 6'2" and 210 pounds with experience at outside linebacker and defensive end.[2] If your team wants a long, physical defensive back with untapped potential and special-teams value upside, he is a fit—but not yet a stat-sheet résumé guy.[2][3]
