In the Jan. 12 edition of The Daily News, the story about seasonal affective disorder misrepresented where ESAs are allowed to go. They are allowed in living quarters but not allowed to go in public places per Ball State Housing guidelines.

[Caleb Elliott is] always someone you can talk to. If you have the pleasure to have him in your life, it makes life so much better.”

“We’re a very giving family,” he said. “We’ll do some fundraisers and some runs for fundraisers and whatnot. Like, that’s just what our family does, and I think that’s what our parents have set up for us.”

One of Elliott’s favorite memories giving back came from when the basketball team volunteered at a shoe drive during summer 2021.

“There was a lady that I was helping with,” Elliott said. “And she was like, just in awe about us, Delta, like we have this billion-dollar weight facility. And she was like, ‘Oh, that’s crazy.’ They’re just confused, like you have all of this stuff. Why would we want to help? Just seeing all those smiles and giving out shoes and backpacks for kids to [go to] school and stuff. It was just awesome.”

When it comes to school, Elliott does whatever it takes to get good grades.

“There’s nights that I’ll get home at like 8 p.m. or 9 p.m., and I’ll be up till midnight just studying and working on homework,” he said. “School has always been really important to me. I want to get good grades because if sports don’t work out, I want to find ways to pay for my college.”

If he could, he would like to continue playing football. For a degree, he is interested in journalism and has also thought about ministry.

Even though Elliott hasn’t fully decided on his future, he hopes he is not in Muncie, Indiana.

“I hope I’m finding a new area that I can help with and just start a family,” he said. So who is Caleb Elliott?

“I want the people I interact with to know I care about them,” he said. “And like all my teammates, I care a lot about them. I love them all. I’m really big with relationships. I love building relationships, no matter how long or short I’ve been around them. I want to build genuine relationships.”
