Josh Hull was a high-motor Penn State linebacker with NFL pedigree and a proven special-teams/value role
Josh Hull is a Penn State linebacker whose calling card was toughness, assignment discipline, and doing the dirty work: he was part of one of Penn State’s best defensive performances of the Big Ten era, including an eight-tackle outing in the 13-6 win at Ohio State, and later carved out an NFL career as a depth linebacker and special-teams contributor with 39 games played and 25 career tackles. That profile says “reliable glue guy” more than flashy stat producer—someone valuable for physicality, effort, and knowing his role, though not a high-ceiling playmaker.
