Here is the recent news article I linked on Jacob Ellis.
2022 Football Targets (Offer List in OP +4)
Bleh. Xavier Nwankpa committed to Iowa today. He might intercept some passes, but will never be a big hitter like Isheem Young!

Who is Cook? Freshman from Iowa city. Not sure if they're trolling or not about him being good.

Jacob Ellis has a very interesting ancestral heritage. His father, Jeffrey Ellis, was recruited to Ohio State by Earle Bruce. His grandfather, Jimmy Ellis, was a World Heavyweight Boxing Champion.

Still not sure why Horne transferred but this kid looks the part and must have ball skills with 5 INT’s last year. Welcome aboard!
Florida A&M works the transfer circuit. I counted 26 FBS/FCS transfers on their team including 4 former ISU commits/players.
I'd assume Ellis is a scholarship guy since no one has said differently. I didn't see him listed yet on 24/7 so I thought I'd ask?
Pretty sure he’s a PWO as well. Didn’t have much for offers. Had a Tennessee Martin offer (FCS), which has a couple TEs from IW, The D over there has turned out plenty of DTs but not much for FBS at the rest of the positions. By all accounts Ellis is a hard worker and good skills, just wasn’t fortunate enough to pull many offers with the Covid season and portal traffic.
They must pay well. Horne and King were basically shoe in starters for ISU next year, but they decide to transfer to Florida A&M?
Unless they just couldn’t handle the weather or wanted to be closer to home?
Not sure they were shoe ins.
More likely that they would be battling the more talented newcomers for backup snaps behind Vance, Vaughn, and Reeder. Neither Horne nor King seemed to improve their game last year compared to what they had done in the past.
Man, we are so lucky to have so many expert talent evaluators on this board.
