QUOTING COACH JEPSON
'Josh is a great leader and will serve the team well as its captain. He has worked very hard to develop into a national level rings competitor and is just that. He is a threat to be an All-American and possibly even win on rings. He has got some refinement to do and some small things to take care of. He is extremely physically strong and a great example to our younger guys in regards to work ethic, attitude, and character.'
