Richmond’s Ironman OL, 2024 All-American & Team Captain
Tom Elia, the 6’3", 296-lb graduate offensive lineman for the Richmond Spiders, is a data-driven differentiator who started all 13 games in the 2024 season, playing nearly every offensive snap—earning him the team’s “ironman” title and First Team All-CAA honors. Named an Associated Press Honorable Mention All-American in 2024, Elia’s intensity is unmatched: he’s a team captain with a selfless, philosophy-driven approach that fans call “selfless leadership.” No injury history reported; his grit and consistency make him a perfect fit for any team needing a reliable, high-intensity OL who elevates teammates through quiet dominance. Why care? He’s not just strong—he’s the backbone.
