Greatest moment of my life.
An incredible moment for our @UMichFootball family: UM Graduate Assistant coach James Ross (@jross_iii), proposed to his girlfriend Omnielle Jordan (@Omni_____), in the Hall of Mirrors at the Palace of Versailles...and by the way, she said yes!

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."
