High School Years
Elder in High school was rated a high three star or four-star recruit by most of the services back in 2012. He was a late add to the football recruiting class by Al Golden. One of the main selling points for him to come to Miami was the fact that he wanted to try to play both football and basketball. Elder in high school was a Mr. Everything type player. He played defensive back, wide receiver and running back. After his junior AND senior seasons were over he was named “Mr. Football” for the state of Tennessee.
