He recorded just 36 receptions for 501 yards and five touchdowns.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the statistical decline, Ross experienced several big moments, including catching the game-tying touchdown against Oregon in the White Out game.<\/p>\n<p>Ross showed signs of success during the 2025 season on offense and special teams, averaging 13.9 yards per catch and leading the team with 71 yards on punt returns.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a blessing, man, just being in this position,\u201d Ross said at Penn State Pro Day. \u201cGrowing up, I wouldn\u2019t even say I saw myself being able to do something like this.
