LSU’s special-teams spark with linebacker upside
In the 2025 season, Charles Ross II was mostly a special-teams regular for LSU, appearing in 12 games, logging 117 special-teams snaps, and adding 19 defensive snaps with 1 tackle. He’s a 4-star North Shore product with track speed, which helps explain the upside: rangy, athletic, and still learning the linebacker craft behind LSU’s veteran room. The fit is clear for a team that values developmental defenders who can contribute immediately on coverage units and grow into more on-ball responsibility.
