Read EvaluationMatt DeBary | Prep Redzone Scout
An Atlanta native who really shined last season as a junior, Ellerman was a tackling machine who understands the position and consistently found his way to the ball-carrier. He reacts quickly and attacks, then shows good technique when making a strong tackle. He brings a high football IQ and does a great job of dissecting plays before they unfold. He made an impressive 98 tackles, nine TFLS, one INT, three forced fumbles, and two pass-breakups. Look for him to be added to the next 2026 Prep Redzone rankings.
