Da’Veon Ross brings old-school linebacker heat to Missouri State
Da’Veon Ross is a freshman linebacker for Missouri State in 2026, and his high-school production was wildly productive: 172 tackles, 13.0 tackles for loss and 7.5 sacks as a senior in 2023, plus 166 tackles, 12.0 TFLs and 6.5 sacks as a junior. That profile screams downhill striker with closing burst, run-game disruption and a nose for chaos near the line of scrimmage. He looks like a strong fit for a defense that wants energy, physicality and a defender who can make offenses feel him early and often.
