Elliott Graziano '22 Recruiting Profile

My goal is to contribute to a winning football program, create long-lasting relations with my teammates and discover my academic and career passions.

I am an aggressive and versatile football player, with solid blocking and tackling skills. This year, as a junior, I had the opportunity to play every snap on defense (middle linebacker), offense (left tackle and pulling guard), and special teams. Last year, as a sophomore playing varsity football, I was awarded the team Lineman of the Year award.

I have always loved football and have been playing since the age of 6 and won several "Iron Man" awards along the way. My youth football career was topped off as a two-way player (guard and linebacker) in 8th grade with a championship at the highest level of TCYFL football in the Chicago area. Our small team with less than 25 players, won a thrilling come-from-behind victory against the only team that beat us that year.
