Preston Ellison of Odessa TX commits to Tulane
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.

Re: Preston Ellison of Odessa TX commits to Tulane
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

Re: Preston Ellison of Odessa TX commits to Tulane
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.CT Wave wrote:I do remember Scott and his play in the freshman game against LSU.Billow wrote:Some of you old timers remember Scott Mann 6’5 275 OT Parade AllAmerican 1st team all prep and a National Heavy weight Judo champ.

Well, we need some Scott Manns who last past the freshman year.

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