2022 Peach State LB Joshua Josephs Picks Up Vols Offer, Talks Recruitment

Metro Atlanta has an extensive reputation for pumping out talent to the college level year in and out. North Cobb linebacker Joshua Josephs is one of the next players up. 

The rising senior stands 6-foot-4 and weighs in at 214-pounds.

The recruiting process is very fluid and forever changing, but for the 2022 prospect, it has recently picked up steam. "Over the past three months, it started to get rolling, so it's been good," Josephs said. 

Josephs was quick to describe his style of play unbiasedly, giving his strengths and areas to work in. "Aggressive but smart," he said. "Better pass rusher than coverage player." 

Josephs' ability to bend and create havoc off the edge with his aggressive style of play has caught the attention of multiple college coaches. 

Schools from all over have begun extending offers and making contact. A shortlist of some of the schools that have offered are; Arizona State, Boston College, Ole Miss, Michigan, and South Carolina. Three schools that have yet to offer but staying in consistent contact are; Michigan State, Clemson, and Georgia.

On March 10th, by way of linebackers coach Brian Jean-Mary, Tennessee added its name to the list of schools that have extended an offer. Coach Brian Jean-Mary and other staff members all looked at Josephs' film and were intrigued with what they saw. "They liked how explosive I was and how good I was in man coverage and how good of a pass rusher I am." The conversation discussed Josephs fitting in at the outside linebacker position.

The peach state talent still has his senior year of high school in front of him. There are a few personal goals as Josephs aspires to have 135 tackles and four interceptions at a bare minimum.

Last fall, Josephs racked up 107 total tackles, 8 tackles for loss, 2 forced fumbles, 1 fumble recovery, 6 Sacks,18 QB pressures, 4 Interceptions and one pick six

Before getting to his senior year, the tackling machine made sure to disclose a timeline for an alteration to the offer list. "I am planning on trimming it sometime in June," Joseph said on his focus of schools.
