About Joshua

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

I am a strong, powerful, and fast player. I am a playmaker and you will see that in film, I play to tire out my opponent with a hammering run style.

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

I have a high football IQ and will do whatever to win and I'm a team player. I play with a high motor and high determination to dominate the game, but tire out my opponent.

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

I have learned that team chemistry is everything, because you could have all the talent in the world. If there is no chemistry then the team might as well be just as good as any average team. I am a great natural leader, I lead by example & verbal as well.

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

I transferred from Hamilton to Basha in the middle of my sophomore year, that made me sit five games of my junior year.

What type of college are you looking for?

A college that represents a brotherhood, and knows how to develop players not only in a football way, but it develops your manhood.

Joshua Gaines Joshua Gaines Joshua Gaines 5'11" | 210 lbs | RB Basha | 2026 State AZ was the guy Basha leaned on when they needed the dirty work handled. While Roberts got his touches and Lewis handled the gadget stuff, Gaines was the hammer between the tackles – the back they trusted on the short-yard and gotta-have-it downs. He churned out tough yards when Chandler knew exactly what was coming, falling forward, squeezing through small creases, and taking the air out of the game in the second half. In a championship setting, that reliability is gold, and his workload in this one shows exactly how much the staff trusted him.
