NFL star Tyreek Hill has publicly supported Eli Ellis, a Gamecocks commit, endorsing him as a strong contender to win consecutive Overtime Elite (OTE) MVP awards.
In a recent social media video, Hill praised Ellis’s skills, mentioning that every time he logs onto TikTok, he sees Ellis making impressive plays, unlike anyone else.
For those who may not know, Overtime Elite (OTE) is a professional league tailored for high school athletes.
It offers these young players the chance to compete at a high level while maintaining their eligibility for college basketball or even transitioning directly to professional leagues.
OTE has already produced top draft picks and features some of the most promising talents in American basketball.
Eli Ellis, a high four-star recruit and last season’s MVP, has been a standout performer in OTE. He has delivered remarkable performances, including two 50-point games, consistently proving his critics wrong.
His journey reflects both resilience and talent. Ellis is joined by his brother, Isaac Ellis, who is a candidate for Defensive Player of the Year and recently received an offer from the Gamecocks for the class of 2026.
Additionally, Kohl Rosario, a 2026 four-star shooting guard and OTE teammate, is already attracting offers from top programs. Hayden Assemian, a 2025 four-star forward committed to the Gamecocks, is also part of the team. The future of Gamecock basketball looks bright, thanks to the talent emerging from the OTE league.
