East Stroudsburg University Athletics

2024 Season Highlights: Elijah Carroll brought dynamic energy to East Stroudsburg’s special teams unit during his redshirt freshman campaign. Appearing in nine games, Carroll totaled seven kick returns for 148 yards, including a season-long 34-yard burst at Millersville (Oct. 5). He also contributed in the passing game, recording his first career reception—an 8-yard grab—at Pace (Sept. 5). Known for his speed and versatility, Carroll consistently provided a spark in the return game, with additional contributions against Lock Haven (31 yards), Shippensburg (24 yards), and Clarion (42 yards on two returns). His ability to flip field position and threaten in open space made him a valuable asset throughout the Warriors’ postseason-qualifying season.
