Elliott played college football at Clemson as a wide receiver from 2000 to 2003. Prior to his tenure at Virginia, he held various assistant coaching positions at South Carolina State, Furman and Clemson. While at Clemson, he won the 2017 Broyles Award, which goes to the college game's top assistant. He was one of the highest paid coordinators in the sport during his time at Clemson, and there he recruited, coached, and called plays for the ACC's all-time leader in yards and touchdowns, Travis Etienne, and co-coordinated the offenses of Deshaun Watson and Trevor Lawrence.^[1] Elliott-coached offenses (in part) won two NCAA titles for Clemson, including a upset ^[2][3] 44–16 victory over Alabama in January 2019.
