Zeise’s a savvy Pitt linebacker with a hard-nosed, playmaking profile
Elijah Zeise is a redshirt senior linebacker for Pittsburgh who built his reputation as a versatile, high-motor defender: in the 2018 season he played all 14 games with 12 starts, posting 48 tackles, 4 tackles for loss, 1 sack, 2 pass breakups, and 2 forced fumbles. Pitt listed him at 6-foot-2, 240 pounds, and historical coverage of his game highlights a different dynamic as an athlete, which fits a linebacker who can chase, disrupt, and help in space. His value is the blend of instincts, edge, and toughness—less flash, more dependable chaos in the best possible way.
