Abel Joseph brings veteran interior disruption to LIU's defensive front
In the 2019 season, Abel Joseph was a productive LIU defensive lineman, starting all 10 games and posting 28 tackles, 11 tackles for loss, and three sacks—proof he can live in the backfield and change downs. His best differentiator is disruption, not just volume: earlier LIU Post seasons also showed double-digit TFL impact and strong recognition, including All-NE10 honors in 2017. At 6-foot-1 and about 280 pounds, he profiles as a sturdy, experienced interior piece for teams that want leverage, effort, and a knack for negative plays over flashy measurables.
