TCU sent defensive line coach Zarnell Fitch down to Florida, and he came back with a defensive tackle. George Ellis III made his TCU commitment official today, signing his Letter of Intent and faxing it to the Frogs. Ellis adds some much-needed size to TCU’s defensive line, along with 2017 classmates Corey Bethley and Ezra Tu’ua, as the Frogs seek to bulk up in the trenches.
Ellis, standing at 6-2 and weighing in at 290 pounds, held offers from Mississippi State, South Florida, and Wisconsin, among a handful of others. Despite committing in mid-January, Ellis took late January official visits to Rutgers and USF, with Charlie Strong making a big push for him to join the USF ranks.
