Josh Alford brings veteran, ball-hawking stability to Idaho State’s secondary
In the 2024 season, Idaho State cornerback Josh Alford started all 12 games, posted 26 tackles, and broke up 5 passes, showing the kind of reliable, every-down consistency coaches love in a DB. Over five seasons with the Bengals, he totaled 169 tackles, 31 pass breakups, 3 interceptions, 2 forced fumbles, and 1 fumble recovery, plus he finished as a team captain — a strong sign of trust and leadership. At 5-foot-10 and 183 pounds, he profiles as a tough, experienced cover man who may not wow with size, but wins with steadiness, awareness, and competitive edge.
