Brandon Ross
School: Maryland
Position: RB

Height: 5-10
Weight: 208
40: 4.57
Year: 4Sr


Positive: Three-year starter who posted a career-best 958 rushing yards as a senior. Underrated situational running back prospect with a well-rounded game. Tough interior ball carrier, keeps his feet moving and runs through tackles to pick up the difficult yardage. Runs hard, keeps the play in bounds and uses an effective straight arm to keep defenders away. Displays a good initial burst and the ability to avoid piles. Quickly changes direction without losing momentum, displays outstanding vision and will pick and choose his spots on the inside. Solid receiver out of the backfield. Effective blocker when required.
Negative: Not a true perimeter runner and best on the inside. More quick than fast.
Analysis: Ross was consistently productive and did a solid job in all areas of the game. He showed well during Shrine Game practices and should get late round consideration for a team looking for a 4th running back.
