Tennessee picked up a commitment on Monday night, adding some much needed depth on the edge. Joshua Josephs picked the Volunteers over offers from Michigan, Penn State, Auburn, Florida State and several others. According to 247Sports, Josephs is a four-star prospect, ranking as the 19th edge defender in the class.
Tim Banks has a clear need for more bodies on the outside, and the 6-3, 215 pound Josephs fits the bill. As Clint pointed out on Monday, he’s a bit of a tweener-type prospect right now, lacking the weight to line up with a hand in the ground at defensive end.
