D'Andre Ellis brings disruptive interior pressure to NCCU’s defensive front
D'Andre Ellis has already flashed as a **gap-penetrating defensive lineman** at North Carolina Central, playing in 7 games and logging 5 tackles with 2.5 tackles for loss, including a strong 2-tackle, 1.5-TFL outing against Saint Augustine's.[5] His value is less about box-score volume and more about how he creates negative plays, which is a good fit for teams looking for an active, assignment-sound DL who can affect the backfield. Publicly available recruiting and roster data are limited, so his broader long-term profile should be judged with more tape and updated season production.[2][3][6]
