PINE BLUFF, Arkansas - Bill Ross is an understudy in the term “perseverance.” After playing two years at New Mexico Military the 5-foot-11, 204-pound Ross jumped head first into SWAC football, accepting a scholarship to play linebacker for the University of Arkansas-Pine Bluff Golden Lions.“I hated New Mexico, but it was something I had to experience to put me where I wanted to be,” Ross told the kids at Monday’s Indians Youth Football camp.
In his first year at Pine Bluff, Ross became one of the architects of the Golden Lions’ defense recording a bulk of the tackles.
“He made a huge impact for us. He was worth his weight in gold,” said Monte Coleman, coach of the Golden Lions. “We watched him on film and knew what he could do. We were just hoping that he could transition from junior college to here and he turned into one of our key leaders.”
