Reuben Foster’s Bio

Reuben Burdon Foster was born on April 4, 1994 in Roanoke, Alabama. His parents – Inita Berry Paige and Danny Foster – separated by divorcing when he was still very young; about 18 months. The separation was ugly, with his father (Danny Foster) having shot his mother (Inita Paige) as she carried him on her back. In 1996, Dany Foster was arrested and indicted by a grand jury before fleeing the state. He was later arrested and transferred to Randolph County, but managed to escape again. So he stayed away for sixteen years with a new identity in Miami, Florida. After being a fugitive for so long, Danny was caught again and brought back to Randolf County, Alabama to stand trial.

The star player started his high school education at Troup County High School where he played on the school football team so he was considered the top linebacker in his class. He continued with the team until his junior season when he announced his transfer to another school. One of the reasons he decided to change roles was because the team’s head coach was fired when it was discovered he had paid a football player to drop out of school to play for Troup. Reuben later finalized his transfer and moved forward to enroll in Auburn High School.

His record at Auburn High School was exceptional, and he participated in the 2013 All-American Under Armor game in which he also received defensive MVP honors. His football career was excellent, which earned him recognition as a four-star recruit by ESPN.

He had verbally committed to play for Auburn University but Reuben backtracked after the firing of head coach Gene Chizik and assistant Trooper Taylor. He had then formed a special bond with the coach and the school’s decision to fire the coach from the team made him change his mind. With a plethora of offers on the table for him, he opted to play for Alabama, despite Georgia’s chances of winning his signature.

College football and professional career

Reuben Foster started his career at Alabam as a true freshman and played nine games (non-debuting) that season after debuting against Virginia Tech. His first start for Alabama came in his sophomore year, where he also appeared in eleven improved games at linebacker. He would later play the following season to become one of college football’s top linebackers, while also winning the Butkus Award at the end of his senior year in 2016.

Reuben was drafted by the San Francisco 49ers in the first round of the 2017 NFL Draft and he agreed to a four-year contract with the franchise. He had been named Malcolm Smith’s linebacker, but that was not the case. Smith had been injured in tag team training camp, so Foster was named linebacker for that season.

It was in the San Francisco 49ers’ first game of the season against the Carolina Panthers that Reuben Foster made his NFL debut. The game ended without him as he was also injured in a duel with Christian McCaffrey. He would stay out for five weeks but return in the seventh week.

Elissa Ennis is ReubenFoster’s former girlfriend. She was born on February 22, 1990 and there isn’t much personal information about the lady other than the fact that she falsely accused Reuben Foster of domestic abuse. Elissa had claimed that the footballer beat her and inflicted injuries on her body. The case was brought to court for hearing. In May 2018, Elissa testified in court, issuing a statement contradicting the charges and saying Reuben Foster did not hit, hurt or threaten her.

She said she made up all the abuse claims just because her feelings were hurt when Reuben ended their relationship after she admitted fighting with a woman who had inflicted the bruises on her body . Elissa also said the assault complaint was a scheme to defraud the footballer of money. Their affair has ended and Reuben Foster, at the moment, is not supposed to be seeing or dating anyone, he is just focusing on his career and his fatherhood.
