SWAC Tackle Leader & First-Team All-State LB with Elite Intensity
Josh Darling, a 5'10", 205-lb Redshirt Senior from Gordo, AL, is a First-Team All-State linebacker who led the SWAC in tackles with 25 solos in the 2025 season, showcasing elite intensity and a 'small-but-unstoppable' differentiator that statistics alone miss. Despite a 70-0 loss to Ohio State in 2025, Darling's personality traits—relentless pursuit, high football IQ, and a chip-on-his-shoulder mentality—make him a perfect fit for teams needing a high-energy, tackle-for-tackle leader who thrives in the trenches. His injury history is clean, and his 1.5 sacks and 17 solos in 2025 confirm he's not just a stat leader but a game-changer who brings unmatched grit to every play.
