/ 6 May 2021

Ross announced on his Instagram post that he graduated from Marshall University, a West Virginia-based institution.

“I’m proud and giving myself a pat on the back for never giving up on myself and finally getting it done! I’m officially a college graduate!,” Ross said.

Ross, 36, said that completing his degree was ‘a long time coming.’

“I used quarantine as a time to better myself and finishing some things that I didn’t get to finish when I was first presented with the situation,” the eight-time PBA champion said.

He also hoped that he could walk on the stage for his graduation.

“I wish I was able to go back to campus and walk the stage but unfortunately I wasn’t,” he said.

Ross also played in US NCAA Division I school in Huntington, West Virginia from 2005-2007.
