2024 Countdown to IUFB Kickoff: 21 Days (Elijah Green)

#21

The Hoosier Huddle countdown to kickoff carries on! For the 100 days leading up to kickoff, we at Hoosier Huddle will feature every player from the 2024 roster in anticipation of Indiana’s first game of the season against Florida International University. Today, we highlight a member of the running back room, Elijah Green.

Elijah Green (Redshirt Junior)

Hometown: Roswell, Georgia

Height: 6’0”

Weight:  207 Pounds

Position: Running Back

Curt Cignetti and his staff entered the scene and quickly revamped the running back room, one of which additions came in Elijah Green, a transfer portal add from the University of North Carolina. Green played four seasons with the Tar Heels, his most productive coming two years ago when he ran for 558 yards and eight touchdowns. His production dipped in 2023, only seeing four games of action. Over his career, he has seen game action 26 times, with five starts over four seasons.

We expect to see a bit of a running back by committee from the 2024 Hoosiers until someone separates themselves, and Green will be a part of the competition. Justice Ellison and two JMU transfers, Kaelon Black and Ty Son Lawton, also expect to be a factor in who will ultimately see the most carries.

The Hoosier Huddle Countdown to Kickoff rolls on with Day 20 tomorrow!
