North Texas DL Joshua Pierce brings size, burst, and disruptive upside
Joshua Pierce is a rising defensive lineman whose 2025 North Texas season showed real playmaking pop: he appeared in every game, posted 14 tackles, 2.0 tackles for loss, two sacks, and a forced fumble, with his best output coming against South Florida. At 6-foot-4, 250 pounds, he offers the kind of length and edge presence that can stress tackles, and his two-sack, take-the-ball-away flashes suggest a defender who can create negative plays rather than just occupy space. He looks like a useful fit for a team needing rotational pass-rush energy and a developing, high-motor front-seven piece.[3][5][7]
