Eddie Elder came to Kansas State from Cascia Hall High School in Tulsa, OK. After learning the ropes and seeing only limited action as a Freshman, Elder earned a starting position during his Sophmore Season and did not relenquish that position until the final game of his Senior Year. Elder was a proficient scorer that had a variety of nifty post moves as well as a nice mid-range jump shot. Elder was also an efficeint rebounder. He lead the team in rebounds during both his Junior and Senior seasons. Twice during his career Elder went for 30 points and 10 rebounds in a single game. With performances like that and a long KSU career it is not surprising that Elder is one of the Top 25 scorers and rebounders in KSU history. He is ranked #24 all-time in scoring at KSU with 988 points and #18 all time in rebounding with 555 boards.
Elder was the co-captain of the 1983-1984 squad and the captain of the 1985-1986 team. Elder also led the 83-84 team in scoring(13.1 ppg) and rebounding (7.1 rpg) and the 85-86 team in rebounding (7.1 rpg). Elder also led the wildcats in the classroom. He earned Academic All Big 8 honors three times and also earned distinction as an Academic All-American Honorable Mention in 1984.
