Josiah Hope Josiah Hope Josiah Hope 6'4" | 265 lbs | DL North Hardin | 2026 State KY will be one of the best overall players in the entire state this season. Hope lines up at defensive tackle where he is dominant against both the run and pass. Against the run, he does a great job of using his strength to stack and shed blocks with ease then has shown the speed/high motor to get to the ball carrier in a hurry to make the tackle. He caused a ton of disruption last season, finishing the year with 61 tackles and 19 tackles for loss. As a pass rusher, he is able to use the same strength to bull rush straight through opposing offensive linemen but he has also shown impressive pass rush moves to defeat blocks. Josiah finished his junior year with seven sacks. Hope is committed to Louisville where I can see him developing into a key piece of their defense once he gets there.
