Joshua Josephs

A twitched-up front-seven defender that has a chance to be a difference-maker on Saturdays. Looks the part with a 6-foot-3, 215-pound frame and a verified 82-inch wingspan. Has been utilized in a variety of different ways at the prep level having rushed the quarterback from both a two and three-point stance. Has also been deployed as more of a traditional linebacker in certain situations. Fluid in almost everything he does and doesn’t waste many steps. Equipped with a few different pass-rushing moves and has won plenty of times on Friday nights with a simple long arm. Somewhat versed in how to stack and shed, although he will need to add some mass if he ever wants to set the edge or anchor at the next level. Ability to come down the hill and make stops outside the tackle box a strength at this point in his career. So are his coverage skills. Produced as a senior while playing in one of the Peach State’s highest classifications. Also tested well spring of junior year (4.3 shuttle, 32-inch vertical jump). Tweener traits could turn off some, but position ambiguity could be viewed by others as gold in an era where exotic fronts are used to combat high-powered passing attacks. Likely to thrive in a 3-4 look.
