Long, athletic Coastal Carolina edge rusher still waiting for his breakout snap
In the 2025 season, Sam Ross entered Coastal Carolina as a redshirt junior DE with an NFL-sized frame at 6-4 and roughly 240–249 pounds, but his on-field résumé is still light: he did not appear in a game in 2025 and had only one game of action in 2024 without a recorded stat. The upside is the body type and production pedigree from high school—31 tackles, 1 sack, and 5 tackles for loss as a senior—but the fit is more projection than proof right now, making him a developmental add rather than an immediate impact plug-in.
