Junior running back Elijah Hood’s talents extend past the football field

Posted Sep 1, 2016
One of Elijah Hood's early schools, Charlotte Montessori School, fosters his curiosity. Hood learns to knit, garden, do arts and crafts. It is an unusual mix of talents. It is also the beginning. At age five, that curiosity leads Elijah to the football field. His father played before him, and his uncles, and his grandfather. He’d start with flag football and work his way up. Or not.
