Norfolk State has combed the Central Region for one of its top inside players.
Highland Springs center Dashon Ross is headed east. At 6-3, Ross would be the tallest player on NSU’s roster right now.
This is a roster that includes former Petersburg star guard Ebony Gibbs, currently a senior.
“It feels good,” Ross said of the commitment. “I still have to bust my tail for the team. I still have to work hard as other players do.
“Just because I’ve committed to Norfolk State doesn’t mean I can’t work hard for my players.”
Radford was also in the running for Ross’ services, but Norfolk State felt like more of a fit.
“I chose Norfolk State because it was a team, a team that’s a family,” said Ross, who is averaging 10 points per game this season. “I wanted a team that would combine and be a family on the court.”
