Full Roster

Damien Ross enters his first season as Valpo's wide receivers coach in 2023.

Ross comes to Valpo after a stint at Northwood University in Midland, Mich., where he spent the last year as the wide receivers coach and pass game coordinator. He served as Interim Offensive Coordinator for one game, which saw the offense produce 55 points, its highest scoring output since 2005. He tutored a wide receiver who finished 13th in program history in career receptions. Ross co-coordinated the team’s special teams unit, overseeing kickoff and kickoff return teams. Northwood led the GMAC in net kickoff yards per kick and total kickoff return yards.

Prior to Northwood, Ross worked as the wide receivers coach and special teams coordinator at Missouri University of Science and Technology from March 2019 to February 2022. Before that, he was the head coach at Bangor High School (2017-2019), the wide receivers coach at MacMurray College (2016-2017), the running backs coach at Midland University (2015-2016) and the defensive backs coach at Midland (2014-2015).

A 2014 Siena Heights University graduate with a degree in sport management, Ross earned his MBA from Midland in December 2015.
