In his first year as a starter, all Elliott did was earn unanimous first-team All-American and All-Big 12 honors, as well as being named a finalist for the Jim Thorpe Award that is presented to the nation's top defensive back. He tried for fourth nationally with six interceptions, returning two for touchdowns. The 12-game starter also totaled 63 tackles, 8.5 for loss, nine pass breakups, and three forced fumbles. Elliott started one game of 12 played as a sophomore, compiling 30 tackles, three for loss, an interception, and four pass breakups. In 2015, the former Under Armour All-American and all-state defensive back from Texas played in seven games on defense and special teams (13 tackles, two interceptions, one pass breakups, one forced fumble) despite missing time with an injury.
