In another year in a past iteration of the football program, Jordan Ross would have been one of the main attractions on the first day of preseason camp as a five-star prospect who passes the eye test. Instead he is just part of the most crowded position unit on the field and his spot in particular includes a potential first-round NFL Draft pick in 2025 who is one of the team’s stars plus two other former blue-chip prospects with similar builds and skill sets. Ross is hardly an also-ran, though, because he doesn’t look like a freshman who has been in the program for about two months and does have the physical ability and mental makeup to make his mark.
