Joseph is an athletic and very productive linebacker who has been among the Socon leaders in tackles in each of the last two season at University of Tennesee Chattanooga. Joe has earned a reputation as a dependable, hard working linebacker. His athleticism and intelligence has helped lead the Mocs to a 25th best ranked defense. Joe came in and played immediately as a true freshmen and quickly established himself as one of the best linebackers in the SoCon conference including ranking nationally for tackles for loss in 2007. Known for his athleticism and knack for getting to the ball Joseph racked up 279 tackles in his career including 31.5 tackles for loss 5ints and 4ff . His play also led him into being MVP of the team including All-Socon Second Team and currently ranks 8th all time in Mocs history for tackles. His play on special teams will be one his biggest strengths in his progression to the NFL. With great leadership skills and great athleticism I hope you'll consider Joe when looking to add a smart, athletic, and productive LB to your team!
