Josh Darling gives Grambling a steady, veteran edge at linebacker
In the 2025 season, Josh Darling returned as a redshirt senior linebacker for Grambling State, bringing senior leadership, experience, and a physical 5-foot-10, 205-pound frame that has kept him in the Tigers’ defensive rotation for multiple seasons. He’s the kind of player coaches like because he’s dependable and battle-tested, not flashy: he has shown production over time, including tackles and splash plays in previous seasons, and even contributed on special teams with a 45-yard kickoff return touchdown in 2024. If you want toughness, familiarity with the system, and a tone-setter who plays with effort, Darling is a solid fit.
