Meanwhile, Ross had a solid senior campaign himself. Ross led the Yellow Jackets in pass breakups and interceptions, bringing in four takeaways. He also recorded a fumble recovery. The senior racked up 26 solo tackles and totaled 39. He had 2.5 tackles for a loss and was magnificent against the pass with 11 pass breakups.
