Ross was a critical part of the Commodores’ late-season turnaround this year, providing a steadying presence on an offensive line filled with underclassmen.

Lafayette lost four of their first five games before rattling off six straight victories to finish the regular season as Region 1-5A runners-up.

Ross was one of eight players to earn First Team All-Region honors for the Commodores.

The two-sport athlete is also a talented slugger on the diamond, earning All-Region honors in baseball as a junior first baseman last season.
