About Joseph

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

Fearless and ruthless. I’ve worked a lot on my speed, and getting open field tackles.

Can you provide a brief description of your mentality or personality?

My mentality is to never give up, even when everyone says to, or there seem like no hope, I don’t quit. Some call it stubborn. I be some hyper focused on a goal or mission.

Are you involved in any clubs, organizations, or have you received any non-sport awards?

I’m in senior club, a member of AFJROTC for 9/10 grades leadership role as Flight Seargant. Honor roll and All Academic letter.

What skills or qualities have you developed, such as leadership, teamwork, or community service?

AFJROTC helped me develop leadership skills. Attending CLC at the Citadel was transformative. I enjoy working as a lifeguard at the YMCA, and volunteering as a youth baseball coach. Football and wrestling have helped me work as a team, motivate others and learn from my peers.

Have you faced any significant challenges? If so, please describe.

Injury senior year, missed first 5 games but excited to be back and playing hard. I go to early morning physical therapy so I can make practice. Even fresh out of surgery, I didn’t miss practice. I came back 2 weeks sooner than anyone thought possible.

What type of college are you looking for?

Tight community, smaller or midsize school with smaller class sizes and accesible faculty. A football program that can utilize me in various ways and help me to develop as a player.
