Florida A&M freshman guard Cornelia Ellington brings disruptive defense and growing two-way value
Ellington has emerged as a high-energy freshman guard for Florida A&M, averaging 7.7 points, 3.1 rebounds, and 2.3 assists in the 2025-26 season while flashing real impact as a pressure defender. Her standout trait is disruption: she logged 5 steals in Florida A&M’s regular-season win over Bethune-Cookman, and coverage described her offensive and defensive pressure as key in a conference win over Texas Southern. The fit is intriguing for teams that value tempo, toughness, and defensive intensity, even as her shooting efficiency remains a work in progress.
