Tennessee's defensive line has been among its most consistent position groups over the last two seasons.

Ross will help add to that, joining a number of talented EDGE rushers that are already on the team, including sophomore James Pearce Jr.

The 6-foot-5, 225-pound Ross has a proven knack for getting after the quarterback. He accounted for 72 tackles, 12.5 sacks and 10 quarterback hurries during his senior season at Vestavia Hills High School in Birmingham, Alabama.

It is clear from his tape why his suitors also included Auburn, Alabama, Georgia and Florida, among others.
