Jalen Elliott was a three star recruit out of Chesterfield, Virginia who mainly played quarterback as a senior. He was pegged for safety immediately and his position coach Todd Lyght was down right giddy when talking about his potential on signing day. (Although to be fair, this is a thing that happens on signing day.) (Point is, he was bullish.)
He saw extended time his freshman season during the latter half of the year, right around the time the season had fallen apart. He showed flashes of athleticism, but frankly was not ready for a major role on defense.
