Elder senior quarterback Kaden Estep keeps rewriting the Panthers’ century-old football record books.
The Cincinnati Bearcats commit broke Elder’s career yardage record in the instant-classic 27-23 regional semifinal win against St. Xavier on Nov. 13. Estep passed for 141 yards and ran for another 215 against the Bombers, giving him a career-record 9,454 yards. That broke now-assistant coach Peyton Ramsey’s record of 9,400.
Estep broke Ramsey’s passing yardage record in Week 10 of the regular season and after the playoff win against the Bombers up to 55 career passing scores, one behind record holder Mark Miller’s 56 touchdown passes.

Elder is now 28-9 since Estep took over as a sophomore in 2024 and will play in its second-straight regional final game on Nov. 20, meeting undefeated Princeton at Paycor Stadium.
