Detroit sophomore running back Romello Ross poses on March 5 in the IAC.
As a senior at Detroit Western International High School in December 2014, Romello Ross was committed to the Central Michigan football team — his only Division I offer.
One year later, he rushed for 100 yards in the Quick Lane Bowl.
Ross played in six games for the Chippewas, eliminating a potential extra year of eligibility midway through the 2015 season. The true freshman rushed for 247 yards on 54 carries and four touchdowns.
Running backs Coach Gino Guidugli said Ross is among the leaders in the running back competition this spring.
