About Timothy
Expert Analysis
Mark Johnson | Prep Redzone Scout
Timothy is ready to contribute early on as a pass rush specialist. The long, lean edge defender shines off the edge. He has great range to chase down the ball, or retrace his steps and bring down the QB when they try to step up into the pocket. Despite his length, the senior is still able to dip and bend while rushing the edge. The athletic edge also looks comfortable playing out in space when asked to drop instead of rush, but he is at his best when he can pin his ears back and rush the QB. Don’t miss on this hidden gem.

Read EvaluationMark Johnson | Prep Redzone Scout
Ellis is a super intriguing. athlete in the Class of 2026. He brings coveted length to the DE position at 6’4″/6’5″. That long frame is very lean right now, allowing for plenty of space to add size and strength at the next level. Timothy does so well winning with speed, quickness, and agility. The junior is fast off the line and can make OTs miss with their initial strike as he cuts laterally and then accelerates through the gap into the backfield. Timothy also does well getting skinny as he dips his shoulder to get through gaps. Timothy is only going to get more disruptive as he gets bigger and stronger, opening up even more ways for him to beat OLs.
