Boonville-Bred LB with Elite Tackling Intensity and Media-Savvy Leadership
Tyson Ellison, a 6-0, 220-pound sophomore linebacker for the Missouri Tigers, stands out not just for his high school legacy of 124 tackles and 6 sacks at Boonville, but for his relentless, pass-rushing intensity and rare dual-threat profile as a 2x NATAS Award-winning sports journalist. Unlike typical LBs who rely solely on stats, Ellison brings a media-savvy, communicative leadership style that elevates team cohesion, with no known injury history and a personality defined by fierce competitiveness and articulate confidence. He’s a perfect fit for teams needing a high-intensity, intelligent linebacker who can lead on and off the field, making him a must-watch for coaches seeking a differentiator who combines elite tackling with elite presence.
