PARIS — The plan was elaborate, the bar was set high and the execution was perfect.

Prior to joining Michigan in France this week, defensive graduate assistant – and former Michigan linebacker – James Ross wanted to make his trip extra special.

He asked for the help of David Turnley, the Pulitzer Prize-winning photographer who has chronicled everything about the team for three years. On Monday, U-M was to visit the Palace of Versailles.

During that visit, Ross staged a photo opportunity for him and his girlfriend, Omielle Jordan, inside the facility.
