Hall of Fame
Jerry Ellison was the Mocs 1993 captain and team MVP, as well as the leading rusher in 1992 and 1993. His 6.2 career yards-per-carry is third all-time at UTC. He is one of only two Mocs with multiple 200-yard rushing games, including 231 yards at Boise State on Sept. 5, 1992. That is the second-highest total in school history and includes a 95-yard run, which is also the second longest at UTC. He holds the school record with three kick-off returns for touchdowns. He went on to play in 76 games over five years in the NFL with Tampa Bay (1995-98) and New England (1999).
