Ross Blacklock ..... Elkins (Missouri City, TX)
4-star
..... DT
..... 6-4/326
..... TCU
Blacklock runs a 5.34/40 and exhibits great burst off the line. He holds offers from 13 schools including LSU, Miami, Missouri, Oklahoma State, TCU, and the NeverWillBees. I've heard some talk, though unsubstantiated, that he is the son of former UT and Globetrotters great, Jimmy Blacklock [article on Jimmy].
Per HD:
Blacklock is a huge interior defensive line prospect with experience playing multiple spots in varied fronts. He possesses a massive, powerful base that enables him to steer OL's. He has size/strength to back up traffic and shows an ability to disengage. He's a tough customer vs. the run. Blacklock displays a good get-off, especially for such a large player. His lateral range is somewhat limited, understandably, but he's athletic enough to play 7-, 5-, 3-, 1-techniques for his HS team.
