This year’s linebacker class is as highly regarded a class at this position in a long time. The talent is headlined by Ohio State’s freak of nature Sonny Styles<\/a> and Georgia’s C.J. Allen<\/a>, but the depth extends all the way through Day 3. One of those later talents is TCU’s Kaleb Elarms-Orr. He is actually currently unlisted on the LWOS Big Board<\/a>, but this ascending player should be.<\/p>\n

Player Background<\/h3>\n

Kaleb Elarms-Orr attended high school at Moreau Catholic High School in Hayward, California. Coming out of high school, he was a 4-star recruit. He committed to the University of California, Berkeley, to play football in 2021. As a freshman in 2021, he did not play the entire season due to injury and thus redshirted. The following season, his redshirt freshman season, he played the entire season as a special teamer. In 2023, he finally got the opportunity to start for the Golden Bears. He made the most of it, racking up 66 tackles, 30 “stops” (tackles that constitute as a ‘failure’ for the offense, 1 forced fumble, 2 sacks, and 1 interception. He was named to the Second Team All-PAC 12 multiple times as a result of his play.<\/p>\n

Following this breakout year, Elarms-Orr transferred to TCU. He was once again a backup, so his willingness to transfer there shows a lot about his willingness to compete. As a backup in 2024, he tallied 33 tackles, 21 stops, and 2 sacks. Following this season, Elarms-Orr stayed at TCU for his senior season. This proved to be a great decision, as he had yet another breakout year. 2025 saw Elarms-Orr put up 89 tackles (2nd on team, 1 behind leader Jamel Johnson), 53 stops (led team), and 4 sacks (tied for team lead). To cap off his stellar season, he was named the Defensive MVP of the Alamo Bowl following TCU’s victory over USC. He was named to the First Team All-Big 12 for his play as well.<\/p>\n
