Charles Ross

A certified freakshow athlete verified at 6-foot-1, 195 pounds with an elite sprints résumé highlighted by a wind-legal 10.36 100. Lined up at outside linebacker, nickel, and occasionally on the line of scrimmage as a pass rusher for Houston prospect factory North Shore as a junior. Owns a multifaceted skillset which should allow him to eventually settle into his home as a true sideline-to-sideline linebacker with plenty of coverage upside. Effective as a blitzer and can redirect to chase down even the most agile quarterbacks and running backs out of the backfield. Must continue to get stronger and better at taking on blocks if he's going to help combat downhill run games on Saturdays. Rare athletic traits and promising on-field context suggest high long-term ceiling. Projects as a developmental second-level defender with the potential of becoming a well-rounded modern chess piece defender with NFL Draft upside.
