high-motor SFA linebacker who led the Jacks’ defense in 2024
Josiah Cotton entered Stephen F. Austin as a transfer from Samford and quickly became a tone-setter at linebacker, leading SFA’s defense in 2024 with 60 total tackles, 6.5 tackles for loss, two sacks, three pass breakups, six quarterback hurries and a forced fumble. He’s the kind of LB coaches love: compact, active and disruptive against both the run and pass, with proven production and ball skills for a linebacker. If you want a reliable, physical defensive piece with proven production and edge, he’s a strong fit.
