I hate seeing him getting kicked off the team. He has gone through a lot. Here is an article detailing some of what he has been through already.
For Ellis, life has been a long, hard journey since his mother, Traceye Ellis-Rudd, was shot in the face and killed by his stepfather, Kevin Rudd, on April 23, 2003.
Ellis and his two sisters, Sedondra and Nissa, were home during their mother's murder. Then just 10 years old, Ellis threw rocks at Rudd as Rudd ran away from their Whitehaven home.
"He was there," said Ellis' maternal grandmother, Flossie Ellis. "He said, 'Look at what you done did to my mama!' He ran behind him and was throwing rocks at him, saying, 'You done killed my mama!'"
