ANDRE ELLINGTON
Running Back, Berkeley High School
Class of 2010
Ellington was a lot of fun to watch as a high school athlete; he was, in a word, fast. Was a slashing runner and was lethal when he got to the edge, with the ability to separate from defenders. As a Clemson Tiger, he displayed that speed but also showed that he had deceptive power and as a senior, he rushed for 1,822 yards and 24 touchdowns, added four other touchdowns (two receiving, two kickoff return). He accumulated 2,519 all-purpose yards as a senior. He was a star at Clemson and despite running a slower than expected 40 yard dash at the NFL Combine, he was drafted by the Arizona Cardinals. He finished his rookie season with 652 rushing yards on 118 attempts (5.5 avg) and 3 TDs, and also caught 39 passes for 371 yards and a touchdown.
