Class of 2017 OLB/DE Justin Ellis (GA) Transfer to Georgia Southern

[JackBauer44]

His film looks really good to me, but what the hell do I know.

Any of the board coaches want to chime in? money, finwad, jb, cil...?

I really like his tape. He's definitely not 6'3, but he uses his size very well so it doesn't hinder him. There was one play where he split a double team through the middle - and that's straight quickness and leverage. You can tell he understands leverage by how he dips his shoulder and drops his hips when pass rushing. With increased strength training, he could be a good one. Will be interesting to see how he holds up against massive Right Tackles.

lol, he wouldn't be at SU if that was the case. He'd be playing in the Pac12.

He should hold up. STRONG kid.

365 bench.(converts to 21 reps @ 225)
445 squat
315 clean

No agility/speed numbers...

Looks like his first offer wasn't til Dec 13.(late). They didn't work out or he wanted more. In lieu of a post grad year, grabbed the PWO. Pure speculation...

Didn’t get the scholly? Or he’s low on the depth chart. This also tells us how much better we are at the DE position because I thought Mr Ellis was pretty good coming out of HS.

Best of luck to Justin. Follow your dream.

I'm pretty sure he received a scholarship. Interesting that his recruitment is open to all schools. There are usually transfer restrictions.

Sure he got his scholly. We gave him the SHOT as a PWO. he came to SU at 6'1" , not 6'3". But, he still got the scholly. Things didn't go perfect at the P5 level the first year in a DE eccentric Defensive sheme. A position group that lacks some depth.

Hey, he has had his shots in practice after being given a scholly. Landscape not to bad, DE not too deep. BUT, WAIT!!...He must think he needs to be on the field more I guess. Hell, picking a CFB "family" must be tough . Yup , a bit of resistance and he is gone, the millennial way. When it gets a bit tough and you have to compete...hey move on.

Things didn't work out. It happens. You're making a helluva lot of assumptions about a kid you don't even know.

I have the power of deletion but some times there is a lesson to be learned by leaving a post up. The lesson here is engage brain before posting,

Only because you are not aware of his full body of work.

I really have been trying to be more patient with ish as I almost felt like I was piling on. But I obviously wasn't.

But good luck to Justin. Hope he finds a situation that works out well for him.

I love his motor and really thought he could play so disappointing to see him leave. Totally understand his decision though, appears to be 3rd string coming out of of spring ball which means the other DEnds really stepped up their game. Even Pickard is 3rd string at this point and a heavy hitter in UA-All American Okechukwu entering the mix in August.
