Elijah Wroten
@elijahwroten
I support collegiate athletic operations, player evaluation, and student-athlete development.
What I'm looking for
I'm gaining front-office experience with the Cape Cod Baseball League's Yarmouth-Dennis Red Sox, where I evaluate collegiate players, research emerging talent, and maintain recruiting databases and coaching directories for roster planning.
My NCAA Division I football experience at Duke University and Illinois State University shaped how I work in high-accountability team environments. I've also supported Division I athletic camps, strength and conditioning operations, student-athlete mentorship, event coordination, and community engagement.
I'm pursuing a Master of Science in Sports Leadership and am passionate about collegiate athletic administration, communications, and creating exceptional student-athlete experiences.
