From David Hooker of ESPN:

Although Elston has been out of the public eye, his recruitment hasn't slowed down, and he has a top six of Clemson, LSU, Miami, Alabama, Oregon and Auburn.

And even though June was quiet, expect to hear more from Elston in July.

"I'm going to some camps, Alabama and Auburn, in July," Elston said. "Alabama is looking at me as a wide receiver actually."

With the Tide looking at him to play offense, Elston is looking to go on the defense and might have found his future teammate in the secondary.
