Kenrick Ellis (born December 10, 1987) is an Jamaican American football defensive tackle. He currently attends the Hampton University in his junior year. A two-time All-Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference performer, Ellis is considered one of the best defensive tackle prospects for the 2011 NFL Draft,[1] and has been compared to Shaun Rogers by NFL scouts.[2]
After spending the first eleven years of his life in Jamaica, Ellis played mostly soccer until he got near high school. He attended John I. Leonard High School in Greenacres, Florida, where he became an All-State defensive tackle. In his junior year, he had 72 tackles, 16 for loss, and 14 quarterback sacks, while earning Class 6A third-team all-state honors, according to the Florida Sports Writers Association. As a senior, he made 67 tackles, 10 sacks and blocked two kicks despite having the season cut to only eight games as a result of hurricanes. Recruiting analysts of Scout.com described Ellis as South Florida metropolitan area's best defensive tackle prospect since Vince Wilfork.[3]
