ball-hawk pedigree, but still an early-career depth piece at EKU
Mark Joseph is a redshirt freshman defensive back for Eastern Kentucky with a proven high-school playmaking résumé—he finished with 24 career interceptions and was a Tennessee Mr. Football finalist—but his college sample is still tiny, with just one tackle in limited action in 2023 and no stats in 2024. His key differentiator is instincts: he has the hands and ball skills of a true takeaway defender, which matters for teams hunting turnover production. The fit is intriguing if you value upside and special-teams/developmental potential over immediate, polished production.[14]
