rangy UTEP freshman with edge-rusher juice and room to grow
In 2026, Joshua Shaw arrives at UTEP as a fresh-faced, high-upside defensive piece after a strong Allen High School résumé that included 10.5 sacks and four sack fumbles as a prep edge rusher. Listed around 6-foot-2 and 216-233 pounds depending on the source, he profiles as a disruptive, athletic defender with enough burst and length to fit multiple front looks. The big question is translation: his value comes from motor, flexibility, and backfield disruption more than proven college production yet, so he looks like a smart fit for a staff that wants twitch, effort, and upside on the outside.
