PINE BLUFF, Arkansas -- Monte Coleman wasn’t even asked what life in Arkansas-Pine Bluff football will be like without Bill Ross when he uttered: “I’m going to miss him.”
There are two games left, of course, for the Golden Lions. Two games Ross has remaining in his college career.
“Two games aren’t enough,” said Coleman, the Lions’ head coach. “I’d like to have two more years with him. We’re definitely going to miss him. He’s definitely one of the leaders, to say the least, not just in tackles or interceptions or any of that type of stuff.”
But he is a statistical leader.
Ross has 105 tackles to lead the SWAC, reaching the 100 plateau for the second straight year. He’s two away from his total last season.
That’s a nice stat for just one of the key players in Coleman’s standout 4-3 defense, which also boasts the Football Championship Subdivision’s leading sack man in defensive end Brandon Thurmond and another 100-plus tackler in linebacker Jer-ryan Harris (129 in 2010).
