From February to December, three-star linebacker CJ Ross out of Jacksonville’s Trinity Christian Academy went the full distance of the recruiting cycle. The first verbal commit of the 2021 class has signed his letter of intent, solidifying himself as a future Bull.

Three-star (0.8235) per 247 and Rivals

Other notable offers: Georgia Tech, Syracuse, Wake Forest

Originally committed on Feb. 1

Ross followed up a strong junior campaign with a senior year in which he racked up 36 tackles, 3.5 TFLs and a QB hurry in nine games. He played a role in a dominant Conqueror defense that yielded only 11 points a game and helped earn Trinity Christian a spot in Wednesday’s Class 3A championship game against Chaminade Madonna Prep.

From his tape, Ross shows tremendous patience in recognizing runs and when locked in on ball carriers, shows an aggressiveness to make a big play.
