New Mexico baseball coach Ray Birmingham plans to recognize Ross as an honorary Lobo, while his father, Ken Ross, will be presented with a UNM lettermen's jacket.
The elder Ross played football at New Mexico as a sophomore in 1969 before sustaining a career-ending injury. He was a starting strong safety and had three interceptions on the season, including one for a touchdown against Army.
A banquet is planned to benefit New Mexico's baseball program.
