I haven't looked into him although I did see him play well in the allstar game. But I have already addressed comparing one player to another...Damone Clark was the one brought up by someone else. I don't translate one person's recruitment to another's...it is a waste of time. I have watched Ross' highlights as I've said multiple times, he does not look exceptional in any manner. He shows no explosiveness and I don't even see speed in his play which is why I want his 40 time. Running 100m in a straight line doesn't matter to me for a LBer. I want to judge his quickness and saw no great quickness in his highlights. And as I mentioned to another poster who brought up a lowly rated player that played well for LSU, for every underrated player anyone can bring up, I can bring up 20 where the recruiting services appraisal and his offers matched his play.

These are some of the first few plays on his highlight reel. These plays are phenomenal. Most box players in highschool are rarely asked to turn their back to the QB, and when they are forced to, they don't make plays like this.

PLAY 1

The first pic is where he starts in the formation. You don't line up here if you cannot run, for 1.

The second pic is where he ends up; intercepting the ball on the goaline. Again, you are not getting to this spot if you cannot run.

Play two.

Again, you don't line up in the spot if you cant run. He runs stride for stride with the WR(may be a RB, cant tell).

He is 30 yards downfield covering a skill player.
