Ross Stays Home for Gamecocks | South Carolina Gamecocks Football News

South Carolina Gamecocks just added a big homegrown piece to their 2027 class with three-star linebacker Jackson Ross, who stayed local despite offers from Vanderbilt and Texas Tech. The Hammond School standout, son of former Gamecock basketball player David Ross, brings elite versatility and stats—102 tackles, 8 sacks, and 10 catches for 222 yards and 6 TDs last season. Ranked 51st among 2027 linebackers and 13th in-state, Ross is now the highest-rated South Carolina recruit to commit to the Gamecocks—a major win for head coach Shane Beamer and a perfect homecoming for the program.
