THANK YOU FANS!
I am overcome with pride and gratitude as I reflect on my last 5 years of playing for the program that I have loved my whole life.
I wouldn’t trade it for anything, and I can only hope that I gave this program half as much as it gave me. #WOM #HardToKill #23B pic.twitter.com/RyDNUo7xmC

Whether or not Ross has a shot at the NFL remains to be seen, but he should certainly be proud of his time with the Hawkeyes.
