Lake Ellis brings veteran, physical coverage to UMass’s secondary
In the 2024 season, Lake Ellis gave Massachusetts exactly what a secondary craves: reliability, toughness, and ball disruption, posting 29 tackles, 3 tackles for loss, and 5 pass breakups in 12 games after transferring from Bryant. He was praised in spring for playing physically and making plays on the ball, and he entered the year as one of UMass’s better-rated defensive backs, which fits the profile of an experienced, ready-made corner. If your team wants a seasoned DB who competes hard and shows up around the ball, Ellis is a smart fit.
