Pearland has leaned on its defense all season, and no one embodies the unit’s toughness more than Credit. The senior linebacker has been on a tear the last two weeks, racking up 14 tackles, 5 TFLs, 2 sacks, and 2 PBUs, showing why Kansas prioritized him early in the recruiting process.

His ability to read plays instantly and close downhill makes him one of the most impactful defenders in the Houston area. With undefeated Dickinson up next, Credit’s presence becomes even more vital. If Pearland is going to slow down the Gators’ balanced attack, he will have to be all over the field once again.

One of the best linebackers in the state, Joseph is a true do it all signal-caller who just so happened to develop into an elite backfield wrecker this season. You have to give Credit where Credit is due, as Joseph has a ridiculous 7 sacks and 22 TFLs through the Oilers 8-0 start. He showcases fluid hips, great short-area quickness, and physicality at the point of attack. Joseph also possesses great instincts and sound footwork, proving his readiness to man down the LB position at the next level. His space play and pass rush ability combination is exceptionally impressive and unique. Look for the Kansas Jayhawk commit to finish off a remarkable individual and team season.

Credit lived up to the hype and showed why he’s one of the most sought-after linebackers in the state.

Smoothly transitions into his backpedal and he has closing speed to shut down passing lanes.
