McCarthy may the type of player who can start to make a significant difference in Oregon's line play... Of interest to Duck fans who are tired of hearing big names fail to qualify is this little tidbit from 2010:

"bIg EM holds a 3.1 gpa mr.lee roy brown!"

That could be a refreshing situation!

(Not my favorite blogger, but you take your info where you can get it... As of Nov. 7)

8. ••••• Ellis McCarthy 6-4, 305, 4.9 Monrovia, CA

"Ranked as the #1 player in the west and the country’s #7 overall player."

"On Film–A one man wrecking crew, he reminds me a little bit of Ndamukong Suh. He combines great size with explosive moves, terrific strength, quick hands, and an aggressive and tenacious style of play. Shows explosive strength on the edge, uses his long arms to quickly disengage, and shows exceptional closing speed. You also got to be impressed with his ability to quickly change direction, avoid traffic, and make plays, A fluid 305 pounder who is capable of becoming a dominating DE or DT in college. He played more DE in 2010 but does have a lot of experience at the DT position. I was sold on him after watching the CIF semi-final game this past December, a game in which Ellis dominated despite the fact that he was double and triple-teamed on every play. A humble and easy going guy off the field, and a mean, tough, and aggressive player on it.

Stats–Totaled 72 tackles and 14 QB sacks on his way to earning All-State honors in 2010.

Other Sports–Has thrown the shot put over 50′ and the discus 140′ in track.

Grades–His GPA is 3.0. Benches 325 and has a 32″ VJ."

Rivals just said Oregon and USC are on top.

Yup, both are "co-leaders." I'm still hesitant to say that I like our chances since his Father could be a road-block, he wants to be able to watch all of Ellis's games in person. We'll see though..

[Phenom]

Has he visited anyone else?

I read somewhere that his dad is a Ucla grad or fan, so that could help push him away from Usc. Trojan fans seem to think he is a lock though.

Like DAT was a lock

I am always skeptical of our chances of pulling a high level DL out of USC grip but I can always hope!

That is true, and is definitely something I have wondered about. The thing is that his Dad might be okay with him being a Trojan as long as he can watch him play, but who knows...
