Ross rehabs, stays close to Cyclones
Although he would get sent out on a high note by his head coach in the final game of the 2017 season, much of this fall for a future Iowa State offensive lineman was spent on the sidelines in a coaching role.
West Des Moines (Iowa) Dowling Catholic’s Zach Ross said he’s looking forward to getting back on the field next year after being forced out due to a torn knee ligament suffered in August.
As the Maroons achieved their goal of winning a fifth-straight Class 4A championship this past Friday, Ross at least got to enjoy a little bit as he found himself on the UNI-Dome turf for the last play of a 35-21 victory over Iowa City West.
Ross was a frequent visitor to Ames throughout the 2017 campaign, making it to every home contest. He's planning to take his official visit next month.
