Josh Philostin brings SEC-caliber pedigree and top-100 recruiting buzz to Rhode Island’s secondary
Philostin is a 5-foot-11, 180-pound sophomore DB whose value is built on pedigree, length of resume, and upside: he arrived at Rhode Island after being ranked as a consensus top-100 prospect in Florida, with multiple services placing him among the nation’s better defensive back recruits, and he was redshirted at Indiana after an injury kept him off the field in 2024. His fit is intriguing for teams that want a competitive, physically mature cover man with a high ceiling rather than a finished product.
