Josiah Sharma is a 340-pound run-stuffing nose tackle with breakout buzz
Sharma enters the 2026 season at 6-foot-4, 341 pounds after adding mass in the offseason, and Texas insiders expect him to compete for nose tackle snaps and help anchor the run defense. In 2025, he played in three career games as a first-year Longhorn and logged a solo tackle in his debut, so the production is still tiny—but the appeal is the frame, power, and disruptive upside that made him a top-300 recruit. If your team needs a big-bodied interior defender who can eat blocks and grow into a role, he’s a fit.
