12/20/2006 | Football
OXFORD, Miss. -- Ole Miss head football coach Ed Orgeron announced Wednesday the signing of Cerritos (Calif.) Community College offensive lineman Mark Jean-Louis to a scholarship.
Jean-Louis, a 6-3, 330-pounder from Palm Beach, Fla., is expected to enroll at Ole Miss in January and participate in spring football drills. He will have three years of eligibility remaining.
"Mark has the size and athleticism you look for in an offensive guard, and his addition fills a need," Orgeron said. "With the graduation of Andrew Wicker, we expect Mark to come in and compete for the starting spot."
Jean-Louis, who was redshirted his true freshman year when he suffered a knee injury, played for Coach Frank Mazzotta at Cerritos College in Norwalk, Calif., this past season where he was rated the No. 100 junior college prospect in the country by Rivals.com. Scout.com and Rivals.com both rate him as a three-star prospect.
Originally from Class 6A Palm Beach Gardens (Fla.) High School where he earned four football letters and was coached by Tim Tharp, Jean-Louis was named All-State on offense and honorable mention All-State on defense. He rated first team All-League, All-Area and All-County as a senior in high school, and was voted the Co-Most Valuable Player, while being selected to play in the Outback All-Star Game.
As a senior at Palm Beach Gardens, Jean-Ellis recorded 30 pancake blocks on offense, while recording 39 tackles, five quarterback sacks and two interceptions in just six game.
He placed ninth in the state in power lifting as a senior, while also being named All-Conference in football, track and field and power lifting as a junior. While a member of the track team, he was named All-County after being a regional qualifier in the shot put. He was also named All-Conference two straight years and placed 11th in the state in power lifting.
