Young Rice safety with upside and room to grow
JaBari Ellison is a freshman safety for Rice, listed at 5'11", 190 pounds, and is already active on the roster, which points to early developmental value for the Owls. His current profile suggests a prospect with workable size for the position and the kind of fresh-start upside teams like when building depth in the secondary. The main question is polish rather than talent: as a first-year player, he’s more of a projection than a finished product, so he fits best with a staff willing to develop a young defensive back.
