proven FCS disruptor with proven Big South pedigree
Anthony Ellis built his reputation at Charleston Southern as a high-motor defensive lineman who can change games with backfield disruption and takeaways; in 2016 he was the Big South Defensive Player of the Year with 73 tackles, 14 tackles for loss, and four fumble recoveries, and he earned preseason All-American recognition in 2017[3][1]. He’s the kind of fit who brings toughness, production, and playmaking upside to a front seven, especially for teams that value an active run defender who can also create chaos around the ball[2][3].
