Unlike trailblazing dad, TCU pledge Blacklock takes different sports path | Houston Chronicle

Blacklock's father was a star basketball player for the University of Texas and the Harlem Globetrotters, but Ross is taking a different sports path.

"He's my role model, even though he probably doesn't believe it," Ross said. "I look up to him, and just with the stories he's told me - about how hard he had to work - makes me want to work even harder to be better than him, even though he was a great athlete back in the day.

DT Ross Blacklock is currently committed, and there are thoughts that Isaiah Chambers could slide inside, but another DT would close this class on a high note, according to Matt Jennings. He suggests that Blacklock and D'Andre Christmas-Giles could be the next DT duo to anchor the line.

Christmas-Giles and Blacklock would get the chance early to show what they can do. The hope would be to begin grooming them to be TCU's next duo to solidify the defensive line for years. Getting Christmas-Giles would not only fulfill the Frogs’ biggest remaining need, but he also would become the top-rated player in an already historic class for TCU.

However, Feaster went on to add Wudtee wouldn't necessarily turn down a redshirt if asked.
