Elon’s old-school downhill linebacker with an All-CAA résumé
In the 2018 season, Warren Messer was a tone-setting linebacker for Elon, finishing his Phoenix career with 318 tackles, 29.0 tackles for loss and 13.0 sacks, and he twice earned first-team All-CAA honors plus All-America recognition. His calling card was impact football: in one standout 2018 game he logged 14 tackles, 2.5 TFL, 2 sacks and an 86-yard pick-six, showing he could both erase runs and flip momentum. If a team wants a physical, high-motor defender with proven production, he’s exactly the kind of trust-the-tape fit that gets coaches smiling.
