Aiming for full clearance by fall
Ross (neck) will not participate in contact drills during spring practice and Clemson hopes to have him fully medically cleared by the fall, Grace Raynor of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
There continues to be encouraging news in regards to Ross, who missed all of the 2020 season after being diagnosed with a congenital fusion in his spine that required surgery. Per Raynor, there are two more benchmarks -- movement compared to pre-surgery and 100 percent healing -- that need to be met before Ross can be fully cleared. Ross has been able to run routes on air and hit the weight room but full-contact drills won't be in the offing until fall camp at the earliest in all likelihood.

2019 Fantasy Outlook
Ross has two years remaining before heading to the NFL, but until then, he’ll be terrorizing college defenses. The 6-foot-4, 210 pounder dominated on a per-target basis in the regular season last year, averaging 12.2 YPT with six touchdowns on 34 grabs. Then he reached new heights in the Playoff, torching Notre Dame and Alabama for a combined 301 yards and three touchdowns on 12 targets. He’s now set to enter this year as a full-time starter opposite Tee Higgins in a Trevor Lawrence-led offense, meaning he’ll have increased targets from perhaps college football’s most talented quarterback. Look out.
