Issac Gross – Senior

Gross is still recovering from a neck injury, but according to Coach Freeze, he is 100% ready to go. That is a big deal for the Rebels. #94 is one of the most important players on the defense for the Rebels.

Gross is a co-starter with Jones for the nose tackle position and if he returns to his usual form, could push Jones out of the starting position.
