Isaac Ellison is a rising, multi-sport tight end with upside at NDSU
Isaac Ellison is a 6-foot-4, 225-pound redshirt freshman tight end for North Dakota State in the 2026 season, and the intrigue is his receiver-to-tight-end transition: in high school he posted 73 catches for 1,113 yards and 16 touchdowns, including 54-855-12 as a senior. He redshirted in 2025 and has no college game stats yet, so the early read is projection, not production. What stands out is his size, athletic background, and proven ball skills—traits that fit the Bison’s developmental machine if a team wants a versatile, high-upside TE who may be a little raw but could grow into a dangerous mismatch.
