Mark Ewing brings veteran edge-setting grit to Elon’s defensive front
In the 2006 season, Elon listed Mark Ewing as a starting defensive end candidate, and the staff praised him as “a very intelligent, hard worker,” while game logs show he produced splash plays like a 0.5-sack outing against North Carolina A&T. Ewing’s value is less about eye-popping volume and more about effort, discipline, and reliable run-to-the-ball energy—traits coaches love when building a tough, assignment-sound defense. He looks like a fit for a team needing mature, high-motor front-seven depth rather than a pure stats merchant.
