  09/11/21 - Davis Cheek, Sr/2022, Elon, 6-2, 216 (DS#25 QB) + More +

  Davis Cheek threw a pair of touchdown passes and Elon's late defensive stop on a two-point conversion gave the Phoenix a 24-23 win over Campbell on Saturday. Hajj-Malik Williams threw a 48-yard touchdown pass to Caleb Snead with 1:11 remaining to bring the Camels within 24-23, but Elon's defense stuffed the run attempt for two to secure it. Williams threw a 38-yard touchdown pass to Jai Williams and Campbell led 17-7 with 9:57 left in the third. Elon (1-1) responded when Cheek led a nine-play, 70-yard scoring drive that ended with a 6-yard touchdown pass to Chandler Brayboy 3 1/2 minutes later. Following Tre'Von Jones' interception of Williams, Elon took advantage of the short field. With 9:46 left in the fourth, McKinley Witherspoon ploughed in from four yards out to cap a 28-yard drive and the Phoenix led the rest of the way. Williams threw for 152 yards and three touchdowns and ran for 68 yards for Campbell (0-2). - AP College Football

  02/20/21 - Donovan Williams, rSr/2022, Elon, 6-3, 242 (DS#74 TE) + More +

  Joey Baughman tossed a 2-yard touchdown pass to tight end Donovan Williams with 32 seconds remaining to lift Elon to a 26-23 victory over Davidson on Saturday in an FCS spring season opener. Davidson had a chance to ice it with 2:56 remaining but couldn't convert on fourth-and-1 at the Elon 32. It ended a 16-play, 59-yard drive that lasted nearly 10 minutes. Baughman threw a 40-yard pass Chandler Brayboy on the next play and capped the game-winning drive six plays later. Tyler Phelps drove Davidson to its 45 but was sacked and fumbled to end it. Baughman was 18 of 22 for 173 yards passing. He added 73 yards rushing and an 8-yard TD run in the first quarter. Jaylan Thomas had 13 carries for 129 yards rushing and a 48-yard touchdown run for the Phoenix (1-0). - Elon/AP College Football

  08/24/20 - Matthew Downing, rSr/2025, Elon, 5-11, 207 (DS#71 QB) + More +

  With Duggan out, Downing has emerged as the team's top quarterback. Patterson has liked what he's seen from Downing working with the first team. Former offensive tackle David Bolisomi raved about Downing's "swagger." And Downing's high school coach at Alpharetta (Georgia) compared his playing style to Heisman Trophy winners Baker Mayfield and Johnny Manziel. "He's got the same type of game as those guys," said Jacob Nichols, the high school coach. "He can extend plays and make plays with his legs when needed. "Matthew's also one of the hardest working, most dedicated kids I've ever coached. He's not the guy who's going to blow you away with a measuring tape or stopwatch. He's just a ballplayer and gets the job done no matter what the circumstance."

Downing is also driven to play at the highest level possible, despite the odds. Recruiting website 247Sports didn't even give him a ranking coming out of Alpharetta. It wasn't like Downing didn't impress in high school, either, starting since his sophomore season. As a senior, he threw for 2,659 yards with 24 touchdowns and five interceptions. He also rushed for 386 yards and three TDs in earning the Region 7, Class 6A offensive player of the year honors. Whether because of concerns over his size or his ability to transition to the next level, he was a lightly recruited prospect. But Downing walked on at Georgia and worked his way up the depth chart to third-string behind Jake Fromm and Justin Fields as a true freshman in 2018. - Fort Worth Star

  2019 AFCA FCS COACHES' FIRST TEAM ALL-AMERICAN: DB Greg Liggs Jr., Sr., Elon,...Setting a new Elon Division I record for single-season interceptions, Liggs finished his senior season with an FCS-best eight. He also finished his career in the maroon and gold as the Division I leader in interceptions with 15. A finalist for the 2019 Buck Buchanan Award watch list finishing 16th in the nation in national voting, Liggs was named a First Team All-CAA Football honoree after the campaign after earning Second Team honors in 2018. Throughout the year, the Greensboro, N.C., native had a pair of three-interception games against New Hampshire and Rhode Island and also intercepted Tom Flacco with 21 seconds to play in the season finale at No. 19 Towson to seal Elon's come-from-behind 25-23 victory. He closed the season with 49 tackles, marking the fifth-most on the team. - Elon Football

  12/02/19 - Matthew McKay, rSr/2023, Elon, 6-3, 217 (DS#33 QB) + More +

  North Carolina State quarterback Matthew McKay says he has entered his name in the transfer portal. The redshirt sophomore announced his plans in a social media post Sunday. He started the first five games before being replaced by Bailey Hockman, who was later replaced by Devin Leary as the Wolfpack struggled to find consistency at the position. McKay completed 86 of 150 passes for 910 yards and three touchdowns with one interception, though he struggled to connect downfield. N.C. State (4-8, 1-7 Atlantic Coast Conference) closed the season with Saturday's 41-10 loss to rival North Carolina and missed a bowl for the first time since 2013. - AP College Football

A Second Team All-CAA Football honoree in 2018, Liggs was tabbed a Preseason All-American by Phil Steele this August while being named a Preseason All-CAA Football honorable mention. In being named a Buchanan Award finalist, Liggs is the third Elon athlete to earn the distinction, joining Warren Messer in 2017 and Chad Nkang in 2005 and 2006. - Elon Football

  2019 ALL-COLONIAL ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION FIRST TEAM (COACHES): Matt Foster, Elon, TE, Sr., Williamsville, N.Y.,...Foster, a 2019 Preseason All-CAA Football honoree, posted 246 receiving yards for the year on 19 receptions with three touchdown grabs, setting career highs in all three categories. His output in 2019 tops his previous Division I program record for most receiving yards in a season by a tight end, beating his previous career high of 242 in 2017.

The Williamsville, N.Y., native played in 10 of Elon's 11 games and caught touchdowns against CAA foes Richmond, Delaware and William & Mary, each of which came in big situations. Against the Spiders and Blue Hens, his four- and 47-yard touchdown grabs, respectively, both put Elon up by margins of 14-0 on the way to big wins while his scoring catch against William & Mary came in the third extra session to tie the game and send it to the fourth period of a five overtime game on Homecoming. - Elon Football

Within the conference, Willoughby's 7.0 sacks rank as the seventh-most and his 13.5 TFL is the 10th-best total in the league for the campaign. Throughout the year, he was named CAA Football and STATS FCS Defensive Player of the Week on Sept. 9 after his 14-tackle afternoon in the home opener against The Citadel, a game in which he helped the Elon defense hold the Bulldogs to just 156 rushing yards for the fewest in a game since its contest against No. 2 Clemson in 2017. - Elon Football

  11/23/19 - Davis Cheek, Sr/2022, Elon, 6-2, 216 (DS#25 QB) + More +

  Skyler Davis kicked field goals from 29-and 35-yards out in the fourth quarter, the second with 41 seconds remaining, to lift Elon to a 25-23 come-from-behind win over Towson in the season-finale Saturday afternoon. The loss snapped Towson's three-game win streak and may have dashed the Tigers' hopes of an at-large bid into the FCS playoffs. Tom Flacco threw two touchdown passes to put the Tigers (7-5, 4-4 Colonial Athletic Association) up, 14-0 after one, and after the teams traded second-quarter field goals the lead stood at 17-3 at intermission.

Flacco was sacked in the end zone for a safety on the Tigers' first possession of the second half. Davis Cheek and Joey Baughman each threw third-quarter touchdown passes as Elon (5-6, 4-4) cut its deficit to just a point, 20-19 heading into the fourth quarter. Aidan O'Neill kicked his third field goal of the game, this one from 44-yards out, to push Towson's lead to four, 23-19. Davis cut the lead to one with his 29-yard field goal with 7:09 left. The Phoenix drove 56 yards in nine plays to set up his game-winner. - AP College Football

  2019 BUCK BUCHANAN AWARD WATCHLIST ADDITION: DB Greg Liggs Jr., Elon,...A Greensboro, N.C., native enjoying the best year of his career in maroon and gold, Liggs leads the nation in interceptions with seven. All of his interceptions have come in Elon's last four games, recording three apiece in road games at New Hampshire on Oct. 5 and at Rhode Island on Oct. 26. Liggs has also recorded 42 tackles on the season with a career-high 12 of them coming last time out against William & Mary.

A Preseason Third Team Phil Steele All-American and All-CAA Football honorable mention this year, Liggs earned Second Team All-CAA Football honors after the 2018 campaign when he intercepted four passes and had 13 passes defended. Previously, Warren Messer was a finalist for the honor in 2017 and earned a place on the watch list one season later in 2018. Liggs becomes the third Elon football student-athlete earning Buchanan Award accolades after Messer in 2017 and 2018 and Chad Nkang's fifth-place finish in 2005 and eighth-place finish in 2006. - Elon/STATS FCS Football
