Jordan Ross Scouting Summary
“Edge defender who plays with his hand in the dirt and in a 2-point stance with a prototypical body type and motor that allows him to harass offenses all game long. Measures in at 6-foot-4.5, 215 pounds with a 6-foot-8 wingspan. Ran an impressive 4.68 electronically-timed 40-yard dash paired with a 30-inch vertical and a 4.49 short shuttle during the spring camp circuit prior to his senior season. Strong and active hands at the point of attack. Flashes raw power when defending against the run while shedding blocks. Excellent first step and get off. Tremendous closing speed in the open field, gains on ball carriers in a hurry. Will need to develop a wide array of pass rush moves to reach his ceiling at the next level but should come with collegiate coaching. Upside is through the roof and has his best ball ahead of him. On the younger end of the spectrum for the 2o24 recruiting cycle.”
