Even Ross’ Washington classmates couldn’t contain themselves. Basketball stars Markelle Fultz, who could be this year’s No. 1 overall NBA draft pick, and Kelsey Plum, the NCAA D1 Women’s Basketball all-time scorer, were amazed by Ross:

While the run was great, it’s a shame he won’t win the island after wearing Nike cleats instead of Adidas. But that didn’t stop NFL players from advocating for Ross.
When your choice of shoes was the difference in whether or not you won an island ????…

Give that man that private island. Who cares who he signed with #4.2Ross #RossIsland
