UConn Football: Junior Joseph’s talent getting noticed

Related Topics: Linebacker

Even after a dismal 3-9 season, UConn Football still has the kind of players that have potential for the game’s highest level. After Obi Melifonwu was selected in the 2017 NFL Draft this year, Junior Joseph is getting some buzz as a possible 2018 selection.

Joseph, a 6-foot-1 middle linebacker, finished the 2016 season third on the team in total tackles with 81 and was an All-American Athletic Conference honorable selection in 2015.

The Sinking Springs, Pennsylvania native was one of 99 incoming seniors highlighted this summer by NDT Scouting as part of their premium scouting services.
