Josh Leath, a 6’3”, 238-pound linebacker from Morristown, possesses an impressive physique and versatility that makes him a standout on the field. With the ability to play both off and on the ball, Joshua showcases his skills as a linebacker and a pass rusher.His strong initial burst off the ball, his long arms, and his muscular frame make him a force to be reckoned with. While he could refine his hand usage, his impact on the game is undeniable. In run defense, Joshua covers the edge effectively, playing square to the line of scrimmage and making tackles for loss with his exceptional change of direction. His instincts shine through in reading option plays, allowing him to anticipate and react decisively to the quarterback’s actions.Josh is also a threat as a blitzer from depth, using his quick trigger to get downhill and pressure the quarterback with explosive bursts. As an on-ball edge rusher, he can stand up and attack with his explosive first step, showcasing the potential to develop into a dangerous pass rusher with refined moves.Currently, without an offer, Joshua’s talent suggests he can play at least at the FCS level. With continued exposure through camps and visits, he is poised to attract attention from college programs and earn offers early in the upcoming season.
