Elijah is a left-handed force of nature, an explosive scorer with the ability to attack, finish through contact, and stretch the floor with confident three-point shooting. He’s a polished three-level threat who brings physicality, finesse, and fire to every possession. Whether bullying his way to the rim or rising up from deep, Elijah makes it look effortless. His offensive game is fueled by smooth footwork, strong rebounding instincts, especially on the offensive glass, and the kind of natural scoring touch that turns heads. But what sets him apart is how he's embraced the full game. Once seen as just an offensive weapon, Elijah has evolved into a legitimate two-way presence, grinding on defense and showing that he’s just as locked in when the ball isn’t in his hands.

This past season, Elijah’s improvement on the defensive end has stood out. He went from conserving energy for scoring to putting pride into his effort on every possession. He’s actively improved his lateral movement, on-ball intensity, and focus, making him more complete and more dangerous. His main area of development now is attacking on the right side of the court, continuing to evolve his ability to score from any angle. On the AAU circuit, he’s been dominant with Toronto Terror, helping his team win two out of three Big Shots tournament championships and putting on a strong showing at Made Hoops that earned him even more recognition. His goal is to earn a full-ride scholarship and find a college program that will become his next home, where he can thrive, compete, and keep rising. This past weekend, he averaged 16 points and 8 rebounds per game.

Elijah’s fire comes alive when the stakes are high. He loves being the underdog against ranked teams, using that intensity to elevate his game and energize his teammates. When facing adversity, he leans on the people who matter, his coaches and his family, to help him stay level and push forward. One piece of advice that’s stuck with him is, “Maybe your path is hard right now because your calling is higher than it’s supposed to be.” That message fuels him. Off the court, Elijah enjoys spending time with friends and family, staying grounded and focused on the bigger picture.

I assess that Elijah’s size, scoring ability, and commitment to both ends of the floor make him a high-impact wing ready to compete at the next level. His versatility, intensity, and developing defense give coaches a player they can build around that brings toughness, shot-making, and energy to every game.

As Elijah continues to expand his game, particularly attacking from both sides of the court, he’s on a clear upward path. His AAU performances have already turned heads, and with his confidence, work ethic, and hunger, expect him to emerge as one of the most exciting unsigned prospects in his class.
