Elon TE John Luke Arrington: former depth-chart riser with proven pass-catching upside
In the 2016 season, John Luke Arrington started the first eight games at tight end for Elon before an injury ended his year, and he finished that season with 8 receptions for 69 yards, showing reliable hands and starter-level trust in the offense[9][12]. The clearest differentiator in his profile is continuity: Elon’s own notes said he entered preseason atop the depth chart, and his background includes all-conference high school honors plus scholar-athlete recognition, which points to a dependable, high-IQ player rather than just a body at TE[9][10].
