Decision announced on live television. Leaving Mizzou behind was not easy to do.
Zeke Elliott, clearly the most talented football player in John Burroughs history, who rushed for 4,000 career yards and 70 TDs the past two seasons announced on live television that he was taking his talents to The Ohio State University. It would be fair to say, that broke the collective hearts of Mizzou Tiger fans. It was not a great surprise to Zeke’s class mates. To the student, they all said OSU--for sure. His dad, Stacy Elliott’s red tie was a dead give-away of the decision. More photos on the Ladue-Frontenac Facebook page. Probably there are two or three big reasons why Elliott chose the Buckeyes. First, Urban Meyer does a great job of developing backs who both run and catch the ball. That had particular appeal to No. 2 in a …

He could make a difference in the Ohio State offense one year from now.
Ezekiel Elliott of John Burroughs is a gifted athlete. He is the fastest person on two feet on both a football field and an oval track. He's already scored 8 touchdowns this year. And he makes it look so easy. "It looks like he's not even running out there," said his coach Gus Frerotte moments after the Bombers got done destroying Lutheran South 35-0 earlier this week in a game cut short by thunder and possible lightning. Elliott clearly dominated the Class 3 state track meet last spring, bringing home championships in both the hurdles and the sprints. Inbetween those seasons, he stars in basketball too. He worked from a gigantic list of prospective football programs before casting his lot last spring with the Ohio State University. He …

Top prospect in the area makes his football signing decision early.
Ezekiel Elliott, three-sport phenom from John Burroughs School has made it official, he gave a verbal commitment to play football at the Ohio State University next fall. He left in his wake some two dozen schools who coveted his running back talents. Clearly, Elliott was the hottest prospect anywhere in St. Louis this coming season. He has one more year at Burroughs. Besides leading the area in touchdowns and rushing, he made all conference in basketball and is the fastest hurdler in the St. Louis region. His talents will be on display this coming weekend at the Skippy Keefer Relays at Burroughs Saturday. "I felt comfortable there (in Columbus) with the team, the coaches, the administrators. I even met the president of the school. Ohio …
