Ellis relishes chance to help rebuild NU football, work with Frost

Listen to Dave Ellis talk about his return to Nebraska, and he sounds an awful lot like the guy who brought him back into the fold in Lincoln.

While traveling the nation as perhaps America's top consultant in the world of sports nutrition, Ellis watched from afar as the Nebraska football program fell from its perch at the top of the football world.

A Nebraska alum who was a critical piece of Tom Osborne's championship teams in the mid-1990s, Ellis and NU coach Scott Frost had a lot of the same thoughts on the Huskers' demise, even if they weren't in the same place.
