Joshua Brantley brings rare size and upside to Tulane’s linebacker room
At Tulane, Joshua Brantley is a freshman linebacker at 6-foot-4 and 220 pounds who arrives with a three-star recruiting profile and a proven high-school playmaking résumé, including MVP honors in Ruston’s state-title run and multi-threat production in 2023. He stands out for his frame, athletic background, and versatility, with recruiting coverage noting he could translate to multiple defensive roles and that he plays with leadership and competitive fire. If a team wants a long, physical, high-upside defender who still has development room, Brantley is an intriguing fit.
