Josh Battle brings veteran stability and tackling pop to Southern Miss’s secondary
In the 2025 season, Southern Miss safety Josh Battle had 29 total tackles through the regular season finale, with a 7-tackle opener and multiple active run-support games that hint at a downhill, physical defender. The redshirt senior transfer from Chattanooga has the size, experience, and reliability coaches like in the back end, and his profile suggests he’s more of a steady tone-setter than a flashy ball-hawk. If your team wants a seasoned safety who can play with urgency, finish tackles, and add depth to a secondary, Battle is a very sensible fit.
