The lightning quick defensive tackle suffered a neck injury that will require surgery and will return in 2016 as a redshirt.
Welp, the Rebs have suffered their first major casulty of the 2015 season. The team announced on Tuesday that big play defensive tackle Issac Gross will undergo season-ending neck surgery, according to Brian Rippee of the Daily Mississippian.
If there was any position at which Ole Miss could afford to lose a play-maker like Gross, it's on the loaded defensive line, but this is still a significant blow. He's technically not a starter -- he plays behind Woodrow Hamilton at the nose tackle spot -- but plays heavy snaps on a line that likes to rotate players frequently.
