Josiah Estes brings length, ball skills, and upside to USD’s secondary
In the 2025 season, Josiah Estes appeared in two games for San Diego after seeing action in one game as a freshman in 2024, and he enters 2026 as a 5-foot-10, 170-pound junior cornerback with proven interception and pass-breakup production from Lake Travis High School, where he logged four picks, 10 PBUs, and 50 tackles. The appeal here is developmental upside: he’s a compact, active defensive back with experience, a ballhawk background, and enough athletic profile to fit a team that values quick-trigger coverage and toughness. He looks like a depth piece with sneaky growth potential rather than a finished product.
