ETSU freshman WR Josh Buckhalter is a tiny but twitchy gadget weapon
In the 2026 season, Josh Buckhalter has logged 2 catches for 17 yards for ETSU, a small sample that still hints at a quick-hit slot profile rather than a volume target. At 5-foot-7 and 169 pounds, he brings compact explosiveness and likely value as a pace-and-space changeup, especially after arriving with over 1,800 high school receiving yards and nearly six TDs per game as an all-around producer. He’s a developmental piece now, but the early usage says ETSU sees a useful, versatile freshman with speed and ball skills.
