Jamarion Ellis, a 6'0", 232-lb redshirt sophomore defensive lineman for Alabama A&M, stands out with 2 career sacks and 34 total tackles in 2024, including 3 solo stops and 1 forced fumble. His differentiator is elite speed (4.85s 40-yard dash) and a relentless, high-intensity playing style that masks his size with explosive coverage.

No major injury history; his intensity and football IQ make him a strong fit for teams needing a versatile, fast, and aggressive defender who can pressure the QB and cover gaps.
