Former Texas Tech safety with a rugged, all-business profile
Josh Rangel is a former Texas Tech safety, not a current 2026 roster player, and the available data points to a physical defensive back who contributed 54 tackles in the 2004 season for the Red Raiders[2][5]. His differentiator was reliability and toughness in the back end, with a no-frills game that showed up in run support and assignment football rather than splashy stats[2]. If you’re looking for a high-floor, dependable safety archetype, he fits the mold; if you need a turnover-machine headline hunter, that wasn’t his calling card[2][5].
