Jackson Ross ‘confident’ ahead of Vols’ 2023 season

Tennessee punter Jackson Ross is confident ahead of the 2023 season.

Redshirt freshman punter Jackson Ross enters his second season at Tennessee.

The 6-foot-3, 195-pound Ross redshirted in 2022 and did not appear in any games with the Vols.

Ross discussed his comfort level heading into the 2023 season after being at Tennessee for a full year.

“I’m really confident now going into this season,” Ross said. “I think being here last season and just sort of taking a back seat was huge for me to learn about the game, understand sort of punt, and it’s been great transitioning into this season being the No. 1 punter and focusing this game on myself and being able to adapt to all that and feel rushes at practice and stuff like that. I think it’s put me into a great stead heading into the year.”

Ross came to Tennessee from Prokick Australia in Melbourne, Australia. He also played two years with Hawthorn Football Club of the Australian Football League.
