Film Notes

Josiah plays with disruptive quickness, leverage discipline, and physical effort across multiple defensive alignments. Throughout the evaluation, the tape reflects an interior defender capable of creating backfield disruption through explosive get-off and active engagement from snap through finish.

Short-area burst and interior activity remain evident throughout the film. Whether attacking vertically as a 3-tech, holding contain responsibility, or disrupting timing near the goal line, the same traits repeatedly surface: leverage control, lateral movement, active hands, and effort through contact.

What stands out most is the combination of disruptive energy and assignment discipline. Josiah stays involved throughout the rep, processes blocking structure quickly, and consistently reinforces strong developmental upside with versatile front-line value.
