SUU’s high-usage freshman spark with real two-way juice
In the 2025-26 season, Elijah Duval emerged as Southern Utah’s engine, averaging 15.3 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 3.6 assists while leading the team in scoring, assists, free throws made, and steals[1][9]. What makes him pop is the blend: a 6-foot-3 guard with a 4-star pedigree who can create, attack, and stuff the stat sheet, plus enough defensive activity to tilt possessions his way[2][8][12]. The caution flag is the turnover load, but the upside is obvious—he looks like a competitive, high-usage guard who can carry offense and bring edge every night[11].
