Chad Elzy Jr. was one of the leading rushers in Louisiana for the Ascension Catholic Bulldogs after he rushed for a school record for 2,911 rushing yards and 50 touchdowns. The star Bulldogs rusher put up some big video game numbers and most of the time, he was running behind #57 in Travis Cedotal. At 6’3, 285 pounds, Cedotal commanded the line of scrimmage for the Bulldogs whether it was his run blocking or pass protection. Mentioned earlier was his ability to clear the path for one of the best running backs in the state, but he also provided a clean pocket for longtime quarterback Bryce Leonard after he set passing records for the Bulldogs throughout his career.

It was evident that Cedotal was going to be a big time contributor for one of the best small school programs in Louisiana as he started playing at the varsity level since his eighth grade year where he has helped lead the program to five straight district champions. That is the first time in program history that an Ascension Catholic Bulldog that has been a part of five straight district championships. He has been very productive on both sides of the football not just on the offensive line. Offensively, he has been named 2nd Team All-District twice (2020, 2021), 1st Team All-District twice (2022, 2023), 1st Team All-Parish once (2022), All-Metro Class 3A and below (2022), and LSWA All-State honorable mention once (2022). Just as good as he has been as an offensive lineman, he has shown that he can be just as good on the defensive side with 212 total tackles (156 solo, 56 assists), 23 tackles for loss, and seven sacks. To go along with the hardware he has received on the offensive side, he has also made 1st Team All-District three times (2021, 2022, 2023), 2nd Team All-Parish (2021), and Ascension All-Parish 1st Team (2022) as a defensive lineman.

“Where to begin, first off, I don’t like to boast or talk about myself. I prefer to do my thing on the field. Being selected to play in the Gridiron Football All-American Bowl Game gives me a chance as a high school student athlete to demonstrate all my years of hard work, dedication, and talent on a national state, and hopefully, God willing, get more schools to notice me and to take a chance on me.”
