Award-winning defensive end Jonah Elliss and his legendary dad, Luther, who is now serving as the Utah football team’s defensive tackles coach, are happy to be around each other at practices and games, and are both doing their part to bolster one of the best defenses in the nation this season.
“He didn’t get home [those] couple games, but he was winning,” said Luther Elliss. “O-linemen or defensive line, when you see somebody that plays well, yeah, they might not get all the credit or whatever, but you see him playing well and doing things well, you know you have to play your best game to go against them. So to see him doing those type of things …”
The head coach added that Jonah Elliss has put on 25 pounds of good weight since his arrival on campus, and not only hasn’t lost any speed, but actually is “probably faster than he was when he got here.”A three-star recruit on both 247Sports and Rivals, Jonah Elliss was the No. 1-rated prospect in the state of Idaho out of Moscow Senior High School, and joined the Utah program in 2021, initially seeing action as a reserve linebacker and on special teams.
“I can’t imagine it because my dad, I’m pretty sure, would just give me an earful every day, even if I had a great practice!” Pepa added with a laugh. “There would always be something he’d just have to say.” “He’s always checking up on you, always making sure you’re doing good in school and taking care of business. But when it comes to football, ‘greatness’ is the only word I can describe when it comes to coach Elliss. That’s all he expects is greatness — and perfection — but he’ll do whatever he can to help us reach greatness,” said Pepa. “… He’s just a great coach.
