Speed and strength on display
Quendel Ellison and Nick Lepak are not cut from the typical high schooler mold. The Auburn football standouts, in fact, stand out, on and off the field.
Ellison, a 5-foot-10 battering ram, is seemingly as broad as he is tall. The junior running back's time in the weight room has resulted in a 200-pound, jagged frame capable of slicing through any defensive line. With the added muscle, Ellison has shed the commonplace image of a wispy high school tailback without losing any quickness or versatility.
Lepak, on the other hand, stands out, or rather stands above the masses. The 6-foot-4, 345-pound offensive lineman is a running quarterback's dream and a pass rusher's nightmare. Lepak, a sophomore offensive lineman, has shattered the Auburn weight-lifting records, including a recent post of 365 pounds on the bench press.
