Greatest moment of my life.

Welcome to the world Baby Boy❕.
On April 26th Jax Ashtin Ross decided he was ready to make his debut into the world two weeks early. Labor and delivery went great and I thank God for this beautiful healthy baby boy. He has been the biggest blessing to our family and we are all sooo in love. 🤍

Attempting to get the baby burners activated early! .1. No open toe saddles on the football field.2. There’s no knee drive (a lot of toe).3. The arms have a mind of their own (no waving mid sprint).4.The effort is there, all in all a very solid rep for this guys first practice!

My guy!.
James Ross III & Roy Roundtree are much more than just former teammates at @UMichFootball, they use the word 'family.' They're now just miles apart coaching here in West Michigan. 🏈. "He's family to me. Working close to my brother means a lot.". Story:
