From Birmingham to Tennessee
Originally hailing from Birmingham, Alabama, Ross pledged his commitment to Tennessee in August, opting for the Volunteers over competitive offers from Florida and LSU. Hailing from Vestavia Hills High School, Ross possesses the physique and agility reminiscent of the sport’s premier pass rushers.
