What is Youth Athlete of the Year?
Learn MoreElijah's main sport is football. He loves having the opportunity to lead his teammates, to be able to play a sport that requires a lot of discipline, mental toughness, and physical toughness.
On and off the field he's looked up to Cooper Kupp because he is a great overall player and person. He is able to handle the football world while being able to raise and care for his family. When he played for the LA Rams, he was Elijah's favorite player. Thanks to a fellow Rams fan, he was able to meet him in-person the year after he was the Superbowl MVP. He treasures his signed Kupp jersey.
Last season during the first regular season game, Elijah suffered a minor concussion after a tackle near the sideline. One moment that was his proudest was coming off of the concussion and getting back on the field. His first game back he had one of his best performances. Coaches praised Elijah for his consistent effort, engagement, and coachability.
