Jack Ellison is a rising, high-motor linebacker who’s earned trust on special teams and is pushing for a bigger WSU role
In the 2025 season, Washington State’s Jack Ellison appeared in all 13 games, made one start, and finished with 11 tackles, including a career-high five at North Texas and 105 special-teams snaps. He’s not just a stat line guy: WSU’s staff has praised his explosiveness, consistency, and steady growth, and he adds value with special-teams toughness, a quarterback hurry, and a nose for contact. At 6-foot-3 and 230 pounds, he looks like a physical fit for a defense that wants effort, versatility, and downhill pop.
