Personal Life
Jordan Ross’ nickname is “Childs Play” but his teammates and high school coach say there’s nothing to kid about his game. Ross earned all-state, all-region, all-metro and even some All-America honors after the 2022 season. Ross recorded 16 tackles for a loss and had two defensive touchdowns for Vestavia Hills (Alabama) High School as a junior. “He’s got length, and he’s got great closing speed,” legendary Vestavia Hills coach Buddy Anderson said. Ross reportedly clocked a 4.6-second 40-yard dash and recorded a 35-inch vertical leap in the summer before his junior season. “He jumps off the tape,” Anderson said. Ross also jumps off the film on the basketball court, where he’s center at Vestavia Hills. “I’m an unselfish player,” Ross told TexAgs.com “I give it all on every play that I’m on the field and I want to be the best.” Ross lists former Clemson Tiger star defensive lineman Bryan Bresee as his favorite player, and he studies Bresee's film a lot to help him improve his game.
