Though Clemson football WR Justyn Ross hasn’t been officially cleared to play as he continues rehab from spinal surgery more than a year ago, he is still being recognized as one of the nation’s top playmakers.

Ross missed the 2020 Clemson football season as he recovered from a spinal surgery that had many wondering if he’d ever seen the football field again. Through this entire process, Ross has remained confident and upbeat. He has been training and has crossed every ‘check-mark’ off his bucket list beside the final clearance that the Tigers are hoping will come in just a few weeks.
