Watch his video, he's got great hands and plays much bigger than his size. Not afraid of contact. Put him in the slot! Welcome to the Family, Josh.

That certainly would catch the attention of more in-state recruits.

This is the kind of kid we had been losing to Temple, Iowa, etc in recent years.

He would undoubtably have a big G5 offer list come fall. We got it done first.

Great cut ability, good acceleration when there are lanes, not afraid, makes all the catches. Great anchor for the '21 class unit.

PS - enjoy watching Tyler P make most of those throws in his highlight tape.

Welcome to UConn Joshua. You're gonna' love it here.
Shifty, strong, fast, finishes plays. Leaping, twisting catches, long or short, he does it all!
For those concerned with size, Welker and Edelman did pretty well.

Welcome Joshua!
It is without a doubt the defenders in his highlight film will avoid using his catches in theirs often looking foolish. Great concentration for the ball among defenders making the catch and then breaking or simply running away from being tackled.
@NYtoCT I agree, need JT to bring along those passes from Tyler Phommachanh.

All that and a great route runner and a dynamo in the open field. A lot to like here, check his video out below:

Am I wrong or was he listed at 5'9" 155 when this post went up? I was cool with that after watching his film. Now he's 5'10" 180? Even better.

I grabbed my initial profile post from last summer when starting the thread - corrected to height/weight from AOF roster from this past season shortly after posting.

 

[IditarodHusky]

Really shifty and has good vision after the catch. Art Thompkins was listed as 5'8 and Cam Ross is 5'9-5'10. Just goes to show you can have some pretty special kids on or recently on our roster that get overlooked early on because of one attribute or another (height or weight). I am very happy with his athleticism, and it is great to recruit one of our home state kids becoming a husky!

Welcome to the family, Josh!
