The Los Angeles Chargers today signed offensive lineman Elijah Ellis. In a corresponding move, the team waived tackle Tyler McLellan.
Ellis closed his collegiate career in 2024 by starting all 13 games at left tackle at Marshall University. He helped the Thundering Herd rank inside the top-20 in the nation in rushing and average nearly 32 points per game. Ellis transferred to Marshall from Baylor, where he played nine games over three seasons (2021-23), twice earning recognition on the Big 12 Commissioner's Honor Roll while studying kinesiology. The Paris, Texas, native did not allow a sack as a senior at Paris High School. Ellis will wear No. 66 for the Chargers.
