Jaheem Joseph brings veteran, playmaking safety energy to UNLV
In the 2025 season, Jaheem Joseph was a steady, disruptive piece for UNLV at strong safety, finishing with 73 tackles, 8.0 tackles for loss, 3.5 sacks, 3 pass breakups, and 2 forced fumbles; that’s the kind of box-score production that screams “find me near the ball.”[2][8][10] What makes him interesting isn’t just the stat line: he arrived as a well-regarded transfer with Power Five experience at West Virginia and Northwestern, was praised as a top-40 portal safety, and has been described as a player who could help anchor a secondary and create splash plays in big moments.[6][12][15]
