Scouting Report

Christian Ellis #8

Virginia · SAF · Gr · 2027 Draft · Jacksonville, FL · Ed White

6-0 · 206 lbs

4.2

Long Shot

Floor 4.0 · Ceiling 4.5

#3060 overall · #267 SAF of 15102

Scouting Verdict

Three-year New Mexico starter (99 tackles in 2024) now on his third school; productive G5 safety but level-of-competition and bench role at VT in 2025 caps it as solid depth.

Ceiling · 4.5

2026 rotation (SS2) — some opportunity; close to ceiling (+0.3) · up-year team · ACC draft-temper.

Floor · 4.0

Proven starter — high, stable floor; downside −0.2.

Pedigree

No composite recruiting rank on file.

Path: New Mexico → Virginia Tech → Virginia
