Joseph Head Jr. brings Memphis real edge-setting punch off the edge
In the 2026 season, Joseph Head Jr. has already recorded 3 tackles and 1 sack for Memphis, giving the Tigers a disruptive DL with proven backfield punch early in the year. At 6-foot-4 and 228 pounds, he offers length and activity, and Memphis lists him as a redshirt junior transfer from Mississippi State. The fit question is simple: if you want a high-motor edge player who can win with effort and size rather than pure bulk, Head is a useful piece; if you need a polished every-down anchor, he still looks more like a rotational disruptor than a finished product.
