Ross, a three-star prospect whos ranked the No. 1 player from West Virginia in the 247Sports Composite, quietly has established himself as one of Tennessees top offensive-line targets since getting an offer from the Vols in February. Hes now planning to announce his college choice on Aug. 1, and Tennessee and North Carolina are believed to be the favorites to land him. Ross recently visited both the Vols and the Tar Heels, and hes expected to make another trip to the school hes choosing to inform the staff of his decision. Sources recently have indicated that Tennessee and North Carolina are in a dead heat heading into the final weeks before his announcement, although the 247Sports Crystal Ball currently points to the Tar Heels as the team to beat.
