Stanford YIP Recruitment Has Begun!
YIP is extremely proud to announce that a few weeks ago, two of our former student athlete mentors were selected in the 2012 NFL Draft.
Our own Rhett Ellison, who served as a counselor at the USC YIP in years past, was drafted in the fourth round by the Minnesota Vikings. Rhett, the 128th pick overall, played fullback and tight end for the University of Southern California (USC) Trojans and is the son of YIP Chairman and Founder Riki Ellison.
Chandler Jones, who served as a mentor at the Syracuse YIP the past two years, was selected in the first round, picked as the 21st player overall, to play for the New England Patriots.
YIP wishes Rhett, Chandler, and all the other former YIP mentors the best of luck going forward in the NFL or on other career paths!
