Andre Ross has spent as much time on the sidelines as he has on the football field during his first two years at Texas Tech, derailing his bid to be a pass-rush contributor.
The senior from Calvert is running out of time, but feels prepared to make up for the lost time.
“I feel pretty healthy and strong, ready to go now,” Ross said.
Tech starts preseason practice at 4:45 p.m. Thursday. Ross will compete with sophomore Gary Moore for backup snaps at defensive end behind Branden Jackson.
Ross has played in only 13 of 25 games since coming aboard from Navarro College.
