2025 Bridgeport RB Josh Love Josh Love 5'9" | 190 lbs | RB Bridgeport | 2025 State WV had a great breakout junior season for the Indians and should continue that momentum into 2024 for his senior year. Love was the #2 option last season behind the graduating Zach Rohrig and still managed to rush for 1,200 yards and 18 touchdowns in their single-wing offense. The Indians will use a plethora of running backs in their system as usual, but Love will be their bell cow and should see a heavy bulk of the carries. He may not be the biggest athlete, but Love is very athletic and tough as nails which you expect from a Bridgeport running back. He’s a hard runner who will often break the first and second tackles with the speed to take it the distance if he gets a crease. Love is versatile in being able to run between the tackles or break it outside and beat defenses down the sidelines. He certainly doesn’t shy away from contact and often welcomes it which makes him a very fun prospect to watch.
Love should earn plenty of accolades this season and will be one of the more prolific running backs in the state regardless of class.

quietly put together a strong season as well for the Indians. Love is primed for a huge breakout senior season but still had a fantastic junior campaign in his own right rushing for over 1,000 yards and earning WVSWA Class AAA Second Team All-State honors. He’s a two-way player who could end up playing either position at the next level but is a natural runner in their single-wing offense. Love may not have elite size or speed but he’s a very gritty and tough runner for his 5’9 190 size and still has plenty of speed to be able to break away at times. He can run between the tackles with the best of them which is essential in their system and hits the hole hard every time he touches the ball. Love has some twitch in his running ability as well and can make defenders miss at times. He can get outside and turn the corner while beating defenders to the sideline, but his willingness to be physical and fight for extra yards is what I like the most about his game. The Indians won’t miss a beat with Love and Co. next season as they’ll reload with another stable of quality running backs.
