Josiah Downing brings size, pedigree, and upside to Hampton’s offensive line
In the 2026 season, Josiah Downing projects as a long-term interior/edge line piece for Hampton at 6-foot-5 and 285 pounds, with a strong high-school resume as a former left tackle who graded out at 90% and logged 27 pancake blocks in 2024. His calling card is raw anchor-and-move-upside: big frame, tackle background, and enough toughness to hold up in a run-heavy game while he develops technique at the college level. If your team wants a developmental lineman with starter traits and room to grow, he’s the kind of player worth betting on.
