a sturdy Utah edge who earned his stripes the hard way
Josh Savage was a durable, productive Utah defensive end who started three years for the Utes and, in the 2003 season, posted 47 tackles, 2 sacks, 9 passes defensed, and team-captain status. His calling card was consistency: long-levered, assignment-sound, and disruptive enough to affect throws even when he wasn’t racking up sacks. For a team, that profile fits a dependable edge presence more than a pure twitch merchant—someone who brings toughness, leadership, and real value beyond the box score.
