Iron Bulls Make History with Signing of 1st Out-Of-State Player

Mishawaka, Indiana — The Mishawaka Iron Bulls continue building momentum toward their inaugural season with a historic roster move. The organization has officially signed Anthony Ellison, making him the first out-of-state player in franchise history.

Ellison brings nearly a decade of professional football experience and a dynamic skill set to the Iron Bulls’ offense. A 9-year professional veteran, Ellison has competed in Arena Football and internationally in Mexico’s FAM and LFA professional leagues, while also earning time on the practice squad of the Dallas Cowboys in 2016.

Born in Shreveport, and raised in Arlington, Ellison developed into an elite playmaker early in his career before continuing his football journey at Boise State Broncos football. Known for his athleticism, route running, and veteran leadership, Ellison now brings his professional experience to Mishawaka as the Iron Bulls prepare for their upcoming season.

A Major Step for the Franchise

For the Iron Bulls organization, this signing represents more than just adding talent, it signals the team’s growing reputation across the football landscape.

“Signing Anthony Ellison is a huge moment for our organization,” said J.R. Robinson, President & CEO of the Mishawaka Iron Bulls.

“Anthony brings professional experience, leadership, and a championship mindset that will elevate our locker room. To attract a player with his background from outside our region shows the momentum this organization is building.”

Ellison’s veteran presence is expected to immediately strengthen the team’s receiving corps while helping mentor younger athletes joining the program.

Expanding the Iron Bulls’ Reach

Ellison’s signing highlights the expanding footprint of the Mishawaka Iron Bulls as the franchise continues recruiting talent from across the country. With experienced players joining the roster and strong community support building, the organization is laying the foundation for a competitive and exciting future.
