Ellingson is emerging as one of Minnesota’s most intriguing dual-sport athletes and quarterback prospects. A standout on both the gridiron and baseball diamond, Ellingson brings a natural feel for timing, rhythm, and movement that translates seamlessly between sports. At quarterback, he combines smooth mechanics with a strong understanding of spatial leverage, consistently putting the football where only his receivers can make a play. His ability to throw from multiple platforms and maintain accuracy under pressure separates him from most high school passers at his level. In Willmar’s recent win over St. Cloud Tech, Ellingson delivered his most complete performance of the year—completing 14 of 17 passes for 208 yards and two touchdowns while posting a near-perfect 156.9 passer rating. The tape highlights his calm footwork in the pocket, quick eyes through progressions, and confidence to step up and attack tight windows. Even when protection breaks down, he shows controlled mobility, resetting his base and delivering with precision on the move. Ellingson’s arm talent, poise, and understanding of offensive structure make him a rising prospect to watch.

A three-sport (Football/Basketball/Baseball) athlete who has made waves on the baseball diamond, Ellingson is a dual-threat QB who could take a big leap during his senior year. His most impressive attribute as a QB is easily the velo he puts on each ball. Between that and a surprisingly big arm, Ellingson has shown the ability to dot up receivers at all three levels of the field. He throws seams on a rope and is plenty adept with the ball in his hands when he’s scrambling. At his best, Ellingson is a massive problem for defenses.
