First Team All-Conference selection Ellison is one of the best all-around prospects in his region. He’s a threat on both ends of the floor. He’s quick, can handle the ball, creates for his teammates, and is aggressive when attacking the lane. His notable boxing out and strength on defense helped him grab over 150 rebounds during his junior season.  

Ellison joined Orr and Eau Claire Memorial’s Cooper Jesperson Cooper Jesperson 6'4" | SG Eau Claire Memorial | 2025 State WI as underclassmen on the first-team all-Big Rivers Conference squad last season. The athletic 6-foot-4 senior is a versatile basketball player who can play inside and outside. His vertical jumping ability and physical strength make him one of the top rebounders in the league. As a junior, Ellison averaged 18.4 points and 9.6 rebounds. Ellison and his teammates have a new coach this winter as former Bloomer coach Greg Van Grunsven takes over the coaching duties for the Mustangs. Ellison recently accepted a football scholarship offer from North Dakota State.

Ellison is strong, decisive and has a bag from midrange and in. He put up 18.4 points and 9.6 rebounds per game last season.

Ellison was a formidable presence from midrange and in for the Menomonie Mustangs on Saturday. He is strong and decisive, using a variety of moves around the rim. He also has a nice touch in the 10-15 foot range and displays the quickness to take defenders off the dribble if they contest his jump shot too closely. Ellison uses his athleticism to get into moves quickly and will spin, shake or shimmy to create opportunities, whether going baseline or making space for his shot. He put all of this together to average 18 ppg in the three games he played at the tournament.
