Scouting Report
Charles Ross II is a 4-star Linebacker from Houston, TX (North Shore) in the 2025 class. Ranked No. 133 nationally. Composite rating: 0.9405. Committed to Louisiana State University.
Physical Profile
Listed at 6-1, 218 lbs. Taller than 21% and heavier than 54% of 2025 Linebacker prospects in the SEC Scouts database (136 with a listed size).
Play Style
Evaluation limited by lack of available film analysis and measurables. His development within North Shore's system suggests familiarity with multiple linebacker responsibilities and high-tempo play, but specific on-field tendencies require additional scouting.
Strengths
- Elite program pedigree from North Shore, which has produced multiple NFL talents and demonstrates high-level coaching and competition
- Strong composite rating (0.9405) indicates consensus among evaluators about his talent level despite limited public exposure
- LSU commitment shows SEC-caliber evaluation by a program known for developing NFL linebackers
Areas to Improve
- Limited recruiting exposure needs to be addressed through camp participation and film distribution
- Must prove he can translate North Shore success to individual impact at the next level
College Projection
Projects as a developmental prospect who may redshirt initially at LSU before contributing on special teams. His high composite rating suggests starter potential by Year 3-4 if physical development continues and he adapts to SEC speed.
NFL Outlook
Draft potential exists given his 4-star rating and LSU development opportunity, but requires significant college production to reach that level. Projects as potential Day 3 selection if he maximizes his tools in Baton Rouge.
Best Fit
SEC programs with strong linebacker development history and multiple scheme versatility. LSU represents an ideal fit given their track record with the position and need for athletic, developmental prospects who can contribute in multiple phases.
Player Comparison
Jones shares the same physical profile at 6'1" 225 lbs and was similarly underrated coming out of high school before developing into an elite linebacker at LSU. Both prospects demonstrate the versatility and athleticism prized by LSU's linebacker development system, with Jones proving that players with this exact build can excel in coverage and run defense at the highest levels.
