Read EvaluationAndy Pham | Prep Redzone Scout
Ellis is a good athlete and a versatile player. He’ll line up as a boundary corner, slot corner, and even move out to safety. Ellis has great instincts and diagnoses a play quickly. He showcases fluid hips and sticks to his receiver, he has great speed and even better quick bursts. When in off coverage or at safety, he does a good job at anticipating and will plant his feet and spring off to close the gap. He does a good job at having active hands and undercutting routes and showcases good ball skills. Ellis is a textbook tackler with good vision but doesn’t get caught looking in the backfield to get burned over the top. His discipline and support in switching off in zones is another trait he holds in his arsenal. Ellis should be recruited regionally.
