Former Youngstown State cornerback Brandian Ross (Richmond, Va.) has signed as an undrafted free agent with the World Champion Green Bay Packers. Ross is the first YSU defensive player to sign with an NFL franchise as an undrafted free agent since Russell Stuvaints in 2003.
Ross, a second-team All-Missouri Valley Football Conference selection in 2010, played in 45 games during his YSU career, starting in 33 of his final 34 games. He had 223 total tackles, seven interceptions, three fumble recoveries and two forced fumbles in his career from 2007-10. During his career, he played both safety and cornerback as well as seeing action on special-teams coverage units.
In 2010, he was credited with 60 total tackles, including 40 solo stops. He also had a team-high three interceptions. In 2009, He moved to cornerback from safety during the campaign because of injuries. For the year, he had 47 total tackles and two interceptions. In 2008, Ross was an honorable-mention all-conference selection. In 12 games, he posted a team-high 98 tackles. As a freshman in 2007, he finished with 18 tackles while appearing in every game on special teams and as a reserve in the secondary.
A four-year letter-winner, the 22-year-old Ross was a team captain during his senior season in 2010 and never red-shirted.
The only other known Penguin to sign with the Packers was defensive tackle Harry Deligianis in 2001.

Good Kid wish him luck!!!

Know B Ross well. A standout kid! A great kid. Worked hard. A "yes sir" "no sir guy".......and he wasn't one of those who "faked it".....there are a lot of those who just played the game.....(all the while having distrust and anger in their eyes".
Coach Wolf has removed most of those types.....which is why some of you naysayers......need to give Coach Wolf and his group......."time".
B Ross deserves everything good coming to him IMO.
IAA Fan:
He is a hard worker, and determined. You have to give him all the credit in the world. He is earning everything he has gotten. Good luck!

A couple links. Does anyone know if the Wonderlick test for the NFL is different that the standard? Brandian's score is very good.
