Justice Ellison story

Justice Ellison built his college career from 2020 through 2024 as a running back from Ashburn, VA wearing No. 6, spending time with Indiana and Wake Forest. The clearest part of Justice Ellison's career was his backfield work: 2,755 rushing yards, 585 carries, 25 rushing touchdowns, and 253 receiving yards across 53 career games in the available record. His largest box-score season came in 2024 with Indiana. Those numbers show where he fit, how often the ball or action found him, and how his role developed over time.

The value of the career arc is that it connects production to role, not just a name on a roster. His career also includes 253 receiving yards and 1 tackle, giving the story more than a single-category snapshot. With 53 career games in the available record, his career has enough shape to show both opportunity and production across Indiana and Wake Forest.
