MOSCOW, Idaho – Senior linebacker Christian Elliss took the next step toward realizing his professional dreams over the weekend, signing a free agent deal with the Minnesota Vikings of the National Football League (NFL).
Elliss wrapped up his career with the Vandals in 18th in program history in tackles with 266, despite the shortened senior season. He averaged 10 tackles per game this spring, the fourth best mark in the Big Sky.
Elliss earned All-Big Sky honors in all three years he competed in the league, including a pair of First Team recognitions as a junior and a senior.
