Marcus Ross brings downhill, play-reading toughness to the front seven
Ross looks like a physical, instinctive linebacker who has already shown production and disruption at the junior-college level, including 77 tackles, 7 tackles for loss and 3.5 sacks in 13 games while helping EMCC win a national title. He should matter to Houston because he projects as a high-motor defender who can diagnose plays quickly, finish tackles, and create negative plays rather than just clean up after them. That profile makes him a fit for a team wanting urgency, contact balance, and a reliable run-defense presence.
