What are Josh's best attributes as a football player?

<o =""></o>

“Josh's best attributes start with his size. He is 6'7-210 lbs. and he has a 34 inch vertical leap.”

Was there a specific game or period of games where it became clear just how special Josh was?

<o =""></o>

“It became pretty evident when he was a freshman that he was going to be a very special player. I watched him in a freshman game versus St. Xavier score 3 touchdowns in 3 minutes. One by touchdown pass, one by punt return and one by interception return. In twenty years of coaching, I've never seen that.”

What colleges have shown interest in Josh up to this point and do you expect to hear from others?

<o =""></o>

“Josh currently has offers from Boston College, Cincinnati, and Iowa with strong interests from Ohio State, Notre Dame, Southern California, Nebraska, Pitt, Illinois, amongst others.”


What is Josh looking for in a college and a football program? Has he shown interest in Ohio State?

<o =""></o>

“He wants a school that will help him get his degree and help him get to the next level as well and I would say that Ohio State is very high on his list.”


Does he have a favorite? When will he be making a decision?


“I would look for Josh to make a decision before next season.”

Has Brandon Maupin or Steve Rerhing come by practice to help recruit any kids for Ohio State? Is football the sport he will play in college or is Josh also considering basketball?

<o =""></o>

“Steve Rehring has stopped by to talk to him a couple of times and yes I believe he wants to play both football and basketball at the collegiate level and all of the schools have given their blessings for that to happen. Josh is really a special kid. He has all this talent, yet he is one of the most humble athletes you'll ever meet.”
