This is a huge blow for the Tigers' defensive unit, as Ellis had an amazing 2024 season, racking up 86 tackles, 15.5 tackles for loss, 2.5 sacks, two pass deflections and three forced fumbles.

Those impressive numbers led to his being named to the FCS Freshman All-American team and to becoming a finalist for the Jerry Rice Award, which is given to the national freshman player of the year in Division I FCS football.

Yes - "dream school"

Were the dream school? Nice.

Or is that the kiss of death? Or is it when the parents like Tennessee it’s the kiss of death? Maybe both.

Still, wouldn’t mind the add. Although do we seem to have a lot of young talent and he’s only a second year guy.

Dream school was the kiss of death again. He chose Purdue.
