“David is tenacious—he just has an extra gear and drive. He is naturally incredibly fast, but it’s more his mindset to always go 110 percent (that stands out). He’s got a very competitive, winner’s attitude. I like that he goes hard, (plays the body) hard, plays hard, but is never arrogant and will be the first to check on an opponent he plows over.”
Dan Rufner
Head Coach

Athletic Excellence


The 5-foot-4, 145-pound senior forward led the Knights to a 20-1-1 record and the Division I state championship this past season. Elliott led the state with 21 goals and added 12 assists. He earned both Railbelt Conference Player of the Year and All-State honors. 

Academic Achievement


Elliott has maintained a 3.29 GPA in the classroom. He has made a verbal commitment to attend Tacoma Community College, where he will play soccer, beginning this fall.

Exemplary Character


Elliott has volunteered locally shoveling snow for elderly neighbors and offering classmates rides to school during a bus driver strike. He also has donated his time to an annual charity drive for Children’s Miracle Network, helping organize and run an event that has raised $20,000 for children’s hospitals.
