Nick Ellis, a graduate student with the University of Northern Iowa football team, is on the third-team offense of the Phil Steele All-Missouri Valley Football Conference preseason teams released last week.

​Ellis is a graduate of Aplington-Parkersburg and last week was also named one of six team captains for the Panthers’ upcoming fall campaign.

​Injuries have kept Ellis off the field the last two seasons.

​“I just hope that he can have the best season of his life because he really hasn’t had it yet [due to injuries],” UNI head coach Mark Farley said during a press conference last Wednesday. “If he can do that, he’ll bring a tremendous amount to our team. … Man, I want to get him on the field so he’s out there for 12 football games.”
