The ’27 LB group is looking like one of the strengths of the class, with several great rising backers like Doniphan-Trumbull’s Max Ross Max Ross 6'4" | 215 lbs | LB Doniphan-Trumbull | 2027 State NE . As a junior, Max ended the year with 67 tackles, seven TFLs, four sacks, three forced fumbles, and a fumble recovery. From an eye-test standpoint, Max stands out immediately with next-level size at 6’4″ and 215 pounds with great length to his frame. He backs that up with a fiery motor that keeps him in go-mode from snap to whistle and plays with the physicality you love to see from your linebackers. One aspect of Max’s game that caught my eye was his ability to rush the passer using power or speed moves to win at the line of scrimmage. He is usually able to get inside the blocker’s frame and drive them back with ease. Once he springs free, Max displays the closing speed to track down ball carriers and make a splash in the backfield. Great finisher when he gets to the ball.
