“(Daniel) is a super freak athlete,” said LFA head coach Robin Bowkett. “He’s just scratching the surface on his ability. He has a really high ceiling and a relentless motor. He has long arms and will develop into a great defensive end. He will be a force on their defensive line.”

The 6-foot-3, 240-pound Joseph caught 26 passes for 498 yards and eight touchdowns at tight end during his junior season at LFA.
