Preston Ellison of Odessa TX commits to Tulane

Post by long green »

Ellison visited two weekends ago. Has three other FBS offers. Listed in places as a safety but is a linebacker all the way at this level. His film clips remind me just a bit of Luke Jackson, though Ellison is a bit smaller and a bit faster.

his only other offers to date were from Texas State, New Mexico, New Mexico St., Army. Lots of other bigger name schools were aware of him but no offers.

6'-3", 195 lbs., I like his size.

I don't know if Permian is still the powerhouse they were in the Friday Night Lights era but at one time they sent a lot of talented kids to college

I do remember Scott and his play in the freshman game against LSU.

That was a great Freshman game - Scott was a man among boys. He also tossed this bed out of his Sharp dorm window one night .... Tulane needs a few more Scott Manns.

I wonder if Ellison wishes he'd waited a day or two before signing :green wink:

Doubt it. Closer to home and an easy explanation for the result of the bowl game.
