Tennessee is banking on four-star Jordan Ross getting after the passer once he arrives in Knoxville to believe his college career. But the Vols’ latest commit in the 2024 recruiting class showed he can make plays on the offensive side of the ball Thursday night.
The Vestavia Hills High School standout hauled in a five-yard touchdown in the Rebels 35-10 season opening win over Mountain Brook Thursday night.
