Elgin established himself as a leader on and off the field, and received many accolades in high school, including President of Christian Athletes, captain of the football and track teams and recognition from America's Outstanding Names and Faces. His tenacity on the football field earned him recognition as one of the state's top football prospects and he was bestowed the athlete of the year in high school.
He attended the University of Central Florida on a full athletic scholarship. During his junior and senior year he was a Dean's List recipient and voted captain of the football team. Elgin evolved into the most prolific runner in school history.

Shortly after his retirement from football, Elgin answered the call to ministry and began to work diligently within his community to help correct many political and social ills that affect society. Today he resides in Orlando, Florida where he works in real estate.
