Have no fear, Tennessee fans: Much needed defensive depth is on the way. The Volunteers got a nice little surprise Monday afternoon when 3-star linebacker/defensive end hybrid Joshua Josephs announced his commitment.
Josephs is ranked as a 3-star Edge defender by the 247Sports Composite Rankings. He’s 505th nationally and 31st at the position according to those rankings. 247Sports own numbers are a bit higher on Josephs, putting him as a 4-star and 19th overall Edge defender.
Tennessee has been a constant in this recruitment since the summer. Josephs hails from Kennesaw, Georgia, and attends North Cobb High School.
