Cowboys showing interest in Fred Ross, Dak Prescott’s top college receiver
After seeing how well Dak Prescott worked out for them, might the Dallas Cowboys want to try their luck with another Mississippi State star?
One of the receivers in this year’s draft class is Fred Ross, who just completed his senior season at Mississippi State. The Dallas Morning News’ Brandon George reported on Wednesday that the Cowboys have met with Ross twice at the Senior Bowl.

Ross led the Bulldogs in receiving the past two seasons. He had 88 catches for 1,007 yards and five touchdowns in his junior season with Prescott at QB.
Walter Football has Ross ranked as the No. 23 wide receiver in the draft class, which means he could be a very late round guy or a potential undrafted free agent signing if Dallas maintains interest in him.
