Tennessee defensive line coach Rodney Garner ensured that they got five-star edge rusher Jordan Ross in orange. Ross picked Tennessee over Alabama, Florida, Georgia, and Texas, a major recruiting win for the Vols. Ross is the No. 33 prospect in the 2024 class, according to the 247Sports’ Composite Rankings. Experts have been offering opinions on him after he signed his national letter of intent with Tennessee on Wednesday morning. 247Sports’s Andrew Ivins reviewed Tennessee’s commits in a recent breakdown, which you can view here, and had a lot of positive things to say about their prized edge defender. “I like Jordan Ross, the edge rusher. I think he’s kind of the headliner.
Sometimes you don’t like doing these player (comparisons) because it’s hard to find a guy. To me, he reminds us of Brian Burns, the Florida State defensive lineman, edge rusher, linebacker — whatever you want to classify him as — who’s now in the NFL. This guy can get after the quarterback, and we ranked him super high. It’s always a projection, but we were really projecting here. What is he going to look like as a senior? Checks some boxes in that department.” – 247Sports’ Andrew Ivins on Jordan Ross
