Casey and Elle met in 2021 in Oxford, Mississippi, while Casey was playing football at Ole Miss and Elle was finishing her degree. After a few months of talking, they finally met in person and went on their first date that December. Not long after, they made it official and added their cat, Simba, to the mix. Over the next few years, their relationship included a lot of football, travel, and long-distance as Casey moved from Ole Miss to Oregon and then ECU, with Elle making frequent cross-country trips before eventually joining him in North Carolina. In 2026, Casey proposed in Pawleys Island, South Carolina — where they now live together. After a few moves and a lot of miles, they’re excited to start their next chapter and celebrate with everyone on April 2, 2027.
