Rai’Shawn Elmore '26 Recruiting Profile

As a kid, I’ve always enjoyed the game of football. My first time in competition I was 4 years old. At that time, I played flag football. I enjoyed running with the ball more than anything. At the end of that season my coach had invited me to come out next year to play tackle football for Pop Warner. From age 5 (2013) until now I haven’t missed a season except for Covid in 2020. I’ve always had big dreams of going to college and playing football. I inspire to someday be drafted into the NFL and really see all my hard work really pay off. I thank God, my parents, grandparents, mentors, coaches, family, & friends for all the support thus far as I am so excited to play at the next level, an elite level. Given the opportunity to play college football will serve as pivotal moment in my life. I always believed I could, and I will. I aim to be best student, athlete, professional, and all-around individual. I am sure my talents, morals, and respect will mirror and excel my athletic career to the next level as it always has in my personal life. Throughout my life I’ve always been told that my talent was special. My mom always told me I could be the best player there is if I stay consistent, work hard, and listen. I want to make my parents proud and be a great mentor to my little brothers. Continuing to play football in my adult life will be the glue to my success. I’m excited to do what I love and bring the people that I love with me along the way.
