Recruitment Recap: Emanuel Ross committed to Stanford and seemed to be a solid Cardinal pledge. However, coaching change at Texas A&M led to Elijah Robinson heading to Syracuse as its new defensive coordinator under head coach Fran Brown. Brown and Robinson quickly worked to get Ross on campus for an official visit. That trip was enough for Ross to flip his commitment. He was one of the most sought after receivers in the northeast.
Evaluation: Ross has all of the traits you look for in an elite offensive playmaker at the wide receiver position. He has good size at 6-2 and blazing speed. On top of that, he possesses great ball skills, is dangerous after the catch and runs good routes. He does have to get a bit stronger to combat with physical corners at the power five level and work on blocking fundamentals. But this is a player with a tremendously high ceiling.
