Although I am no longer a scout, I still have seen many of the current group of Illinois high school athletes in action over the last few years, one of them being Simeon wide receiver Malik Elzy. When I first saw him up close, I knew that his recruitment would lead him to a Power-5 program.
According to a report from 247Sports Allen Trieu, that’s exactly the case. Elzy recently told Trieu that he’s in constant contact with multiple schools including Illinois, Tennessee, Ole Miss, Nebraska, Cincinnati and Notre Dame.
When asked what Elzy though about the Irish, he responded by saying “I talk to the new wide receivers coach, Coach Stuckey, Dre Brown, the head coach, the quarterbacks coach Rees, we really built that connection. They really love me and I love them too.”
Recruiting is all about making connections with players and if the Irish are making that close connection with Elzy, there is a chance he ends up a bit east of his current residence.
