Josh Ellison brings veteran, plug-and-play toughness to Memphis’ defensive front
In the 2023 season, Josh Ellison gave Memphis a steady interior presence: 30 tackles, 4 tackles for loss, and 1 sack while starting all 13 games, showing the kind of durable, blue-collar reliability coaches love on the DL[2][3][5]. At 6-3, 300 pounds, he projects as a physical run-stuffer with enough burst to create disruption, and his transfer background from Oklahoma suggests he can handle higher-level competition and multiple roles across the line[5][8].
