veteran, versatile Wake Forest safety with a team-first edge
Josh Strickland is a former Wake Forest safety, not a current roster player; in his final college stretch, he earned meaningful snaps in 11 games in the 2012 season and was known as a dependable special-teams contributor with a 6-foot-2 frame and strong local-rooted leadership. His differentiators were toughness, versatility, and football IQ rather than flashy numbers, plus the kind of discipline that showed up in three ACC Academic Honor Roll selections. If a team wants a smart, physical, low-drama defensive back who can help in the meeting room and on coverage units, Strickland checks that box.
