BYU safety Joseph Douglas: rangy, academic, and still building his on-field résumé
Joseph Douglas is a 6-foot-2, 210-pound sophomore safety for BYU who brings size, length, and upside to the Cougars’ secondary, with official team notes also highlighting him as an Academic All-Mountain West and MWC Scholar-Athlete in 2024[1][15]. In the 2025 preseason, BYU identified him as one of the newcomers in a safety room that needed depth and competition, which suggests he’s viewed as a developmental piece with real roster value[14]. He looks like a fit for teams that want an ascending, physical defensive back with good frame and strong off-field discipline rather than a finished product[1][14].
