Like older brother, like younger brother.
According to Rivals’ Steve Wiltfong, Class of 2028 four-star defensive lineman Tyrone Elee, the younger brother of former St. Frances Academy (Md.) star EDGE Zion Elee (Maryland enrollee), has transferred from Joppatowne (Joppa, MD) to play for Messay Hailemariam‘s Panthers in Baltimore.

Last season, the 6-foot-3, 240-pound defensive dynamo totaled 86 tackles, 21 going for a loss and 11 sacks for the Mariners. The four-star lineman is already drawing plenty of similarities when it comes to his older brother playing on the defensive line.
The older Elee was nation’s No. 5 overall player, according to the Rivals Industry Rankings, and was the anchor to one of the best high school football defenses in the entire country.
Now the Panthers will have another Elee seeing time on defense and the nationally recognized program, winners of the 2025 Overtime Nationals championship, are trying to repeat as the country’s best team. The road to prosperity will be just as difficult this time around for Hailemariam’s bunch.
The Panthers would be playing another elite high school football schedule in 2026, which will include matchups against Hun School (NJ), The St. James Academy (Va.) and rival IMG Academy, which is slated for Nov. 13 (Friday).
St. Frances Academy ended up finishing this past season with a 9-1 record and as the No. 2 ranked team in the country, according to the final Rivals National 2025 High School Football Composite Rankings. The Panthers finished as Maryland’s top high school football team, per the Massey Rankings.
