Transfer Portal Rumor: Elijah Young, D-III RB, Weighs Options After Coaching Change
Fair Haven Slaters junior running back Elijah Young is reportedly considering a transfer from the Vermont program following the departure of head coach Michael Smith. The loss of Young, a key contributor to the Slaters' backfield, would be a significant blow to the team's depth at running back, a position that has been plagued by scarcity in the VPA. Young's decision could impact the Slaters' chances of competing for a D-III title. According to sources, Young is being recruited by programs in New Hampshire and Massachusetts, which have a history of attracting top talent from Vermont. The Slaters' administration is working to retain Young, but his decision is still pending. A final decision is expected in the coming weeks as the transfer portal opens.
