After spending the first four seasons of his career at Sacramento State, Elijah Tau-Tolliver decided to spend his senior season with Michigan State in 2025. In his season with MSU, he finished with 428 rushing yards and two touchdowns on 72 carries, while also hauling in 18 passes for 139 yards.
Now, after going undrafted in the 2026 NFL Draft, Tau-Tolliver has been trying to find his first professional home. He got his first opportunity with the Baltimore Ravens, spending training camp there and making it to final roster cuts, but ultimately did not stick with the Ravens.
On Tuesday, following a season ending injury to Devon Achane, Tau-Tolliver was given another opportunity at the NFL level. The former Spartan running back was given a tryout
with the Miami Dolphins.
As of now, he has not been signed, but if the tryout went well, he can still be in line for getting a contract.
#Dolphins worked out Amari Burney, Jack Dingle, James Ester (signed), Brandon George, Hassan Haskins, Damien Martinez, Dassan McCullough, Kenny McIntosh, Antwaun Powell-Ryaland, T.J. Quinn, Elijah Tau-Tolliver, Nathan Voorhis
