Colorado offers new JuCo defensive tackle

Milledgeville (Ga.) Georgia Military College has a 6-foot-4, 290-pound defensive tackle on their roster in Jabari Ellis.

The three-star recruit is from South Carolina, and has an offer from the Gamecocks as well as offers from East Carolina and N.C. State.

The Colorado Buffaloes are far from home for Ellis, but he is adamant about being open to all schools.

"I'm open right now. I'm not set on going back closer to home," Ellis said. "I'm open to the best school."

The Buffs are the latest school to offer Ellis. He received the offer from Colorado defensive backs coach ShaDon Brown.

"He came to my practice and watched me,"Ellis said. "When I got on the phone with him, he was talking about the history of the school and told me that he wanted to offer me.

"I was excited because of the history of the school. Colorado is pretty far, but I really want to see what all they have to offer."
