... Elrod helped Seminole to a 10-2 season in 2024 which included a postseason win over Levelland

Junior Day visit: "It was nice, I really enjoyed it. We got to tour the facilities and everything and it was really nice. I got to talk to coach (Clay) McGuire a little bit more and just got to make a few connections. It was great.

What stood out was just the way those coaches talk about how they want to turn everybody into a better version of their parents and make good men. That's probably my biggest thing."
