Justyn Ross "in good spirits," moving his neck after surgery

Clemson wide receiver Justyn Ross is well on the road to recovery, and his high school coach said he believes Ross will not only play football again -- he will be better and stronger than ever.

Ross had surgery last week to repair a congenital fusion (two fused vertebrae appear structurally and functionally as one). The rising junior will miss the 2020 football season as he recovers from the surgery, and there is no guarantee that he will play football again.

His former head coach at Phenix City (AL) Central, Jamey DuBose, said he spoke with Ross over the weekend.
