“Just got the news that he has been cleared to play and join his teammates,” Arroyo said by text.
In September, Ross was declared ineligible while the NCAA looked into his grades from his ninth and 10th grade years at Jackson (Miss.) Murrah High School, Arroyo said. Since then, he has been at home working out and taking courses online.
