Emmanuel Ellerbee

Emmanuel Ellerbee is the Founder/CEO of Bee’s Believers. As a young child, Emmanuel knew that he wanted to play in the NFL. However, his parents stressed the importance of having a good education as well. Growing up he developed an interest in science and math and knew that when he hung up the cleats that he wanted his next career to be in STEAM. Emmanuel attended high school at Strake Jesuit College Preparatory and was able to continue his athletic and academic career at the prestigious, Rice University in his hometown of Houston, TX. Emmanuel attained his degree in Civil Engineering while simultaneously becoming an All-Conference player. Emmanuel then went undrafted in 2018 and continues to pursue his dreams today as a NFL Linebacker. “It’s important for me to show the youth that being a college athlete isn’t synonymous with getting a general studies degree but can be a vehicle for launching a STEAM career while also chasing your dream of playing professionally.”
