Jacob Ellis brings veteran, physical edge to CSU’s linebacker room
In the 2025 season, Jacob Ellis gave Colorado State a steady veteran presence at linebacker, appearing in 10 games with 41 tackles, 2 tackles for loss, 2 pass breakups, and a forced fumble, which is a nice mix of run support and coverage juice. He’s a 6-foot, 225-pound graduate senior with a reputation for being assignment-sound, active at the point of attack, and willing to bring some sandpaper to the defense. The injury interruptions matter, but the production and experience suggest a reliable fit for a team needing toughness, communication, and a linebacker who can help in multiple phases.
