Elijah Gipson brings speed, range, and steady tackling to Hawaiʻi’s secondary
In the 2025 season, Elijah Gipson logged 8 total tackles for Hawaiʻi and appeared in 11 games, showing up as a reliable depth piece in the Rainbow Warriors’ defensive backfield.[10][15] The bigger selling point is his athletic profile: Hawaiʻi lists him at 5-foot-11, and his prep bio notes track speed plus two-way versatility, which usually translates to quick trigger, recovery burst, and special-teams value.[5][14] He’s the kind of DB who can fit a team that wants fast, physical coverage with room to grow into a bigger role.
