Monterrio Elston Jr. brings compact speed and upside to Kansas State’s backfield
Elston is a **redshirt freshman** at Kansas State with a compact 5-foot-7, 188-pound frame and a recruiting profile that ESPN pegged as the **No. 53 running back in the 2025 class** and **No. 6 overall in Arkansas**. His appeal is less about pure size and more about burst, toughness, and big-play potential—traits that fit a downhill, space-creating role. He’s a worthwhile name to watch if you value explosive acceleration and a high-effort runner who could develop into a disruptive change-of-pace weapon.
