Tennessee Football is on a roll this offseason and has picked up yet another 5-star recruit for the 2024 class.
Jordan Ross, the 5-star Edge from Birmingham, Alabama, announced yesterday that he will commit to Tennessee Football and join their stacked recruiting class on Rocky Top.
What to know about Jordan Ross.
Ross is a 5-star edge with explosive speed and agility. He is 6 feet-4 inches and weighs 220 pounds with extreme athleticism. Ross chose Tennessee over Florida, Georgia, and Alabama. Without a doubt, Jordan will be a massive weapon for the Volunteers once he sets foot on the field.
The upside for Jordan Ross is through the roof, and Josh Heupel’s defense just got a whole lot stronger. Jordan Ross boasts an impressive football IQ, seamlessly reading plays. His versatility shines through, impacting both run-defense and pass-rush situations.
Ross’s physical power becomes evident as he stands firm against running plays while efficiently shedding blocks. His initial step and rapid response are exceptional, and his capacity for swiftly closing the gap on ball carriers within open-field scenarios is nothing short of tremendous.
ESPN Writer Blake Baumgartner had this to say about the recent recruitment:
"“Ross, who is ranked No. 24 overall in the 2024 ESPN 300, is the sixth-best defensive end in the cycle and is Tennessee’s second-highest-ranked recruit, behind Parkview High School (Georgia) athlete Mike Matthews (No. 5 overall in 2024), who announced for Josh Heupel’s program on July 19.“I’d say [which school has] the best education, and the relationship with the coaches and seeing how they can develop me into the future,” Ross told ESPN in May about what he was prioritizing most with his decision.”"
