Eli Saxton '25 Recruiting Profile

My name is Eli Sexton. I love the outdoors, hunting, fishing, and football. I joined my first football league at 3 years old and have played ever since. Beginning at the age of 6, I was recruited to various travel teams as a utility player. I was nicknamed "The Swiss Army Knife" because I could play and thrive at any position on the field. I have attended University of Tennessee (invitation-only) camps, NFL camps and USA All Stars combines, among other collegiate player-led camps. In middle school, I captured the school record of most interceptions (I got 3-4 per game). In high school, I am holding the positions of Free Safety, Defensive Back and Wide Receiver. I have been told by coaches, NFL athletes and collegiate athletes that I have an understanding of football that is unlike anything that they have ever seen. I strive daily to perfect my knowledge of plays and positions so that I can be ready if my coaches and team need me to step into any position to help my team not only get a win, but to improve. I feel that my passion and understanding is what sets me above the rest. My dream is to play football and go to college to get my BS degree in Wildlife and Fishery Conservation to become a game warden and to work as a Wildlife Conservation Officer.
