Elijah and my son Steven have been good friends from the time that Steven was in third grade. Elijah has always been one grade below Steven. Elijah has a bad birthday for wrestling (July I think) and consequently he is always moving in age with Steven but has "ALWAYS" been one grade behind him. At the USAW National events Elijah is always a year behind Steven because of this birthdate issue. Steven's birthday is in December.
Elijah to my knowledge is not a "redshirt freshman" as "keep it real 89" has stated.
