2016 Sep 2

Bob Jones University Bruins athletics director and men's head basketball coach Dr. Neal Ring announced the addition of Greenville resident Nathan Ellenwood to the 2016-2017 men's basketball roster. Ellenwood, a guard, joins four additional new recruits to the team.

"We're very excited about our team and the players we have joining us this year," Head Coach Neal Ring said. "I think we will have a tight-knit group that will learn to play together as we progress though the season."

In his high school basketball career, Ellenwood averaged 26 points per game while also averaging 8 rebounds and 5 assists. He was given 6 different All-Tournament awards and 5 awards for Most Valuable Player (MVP).

"BJU feels like home," says Ellenwood. "I felt this was where the Lord was leading me every time I visited."

Ellenwood is majoring in Business Administration at BJU.

The Bruins basketball team begins the 2016-17 season on the road as they battle Asbury College in the UPIKE Classic Tournament October 28 in Pikeville, Kentucky.
