Tulane’s 2023 recruiting class grew by one Wednesday with the commitment of linebacker Jean Claude Joseph III.

The 5-foot-11, 209 pounder is a three-star prospect from Eastside High in Covington, Georgia. Joseph pondered an impressive list of offers from Mississippi State, Tennessee, Michigan, USF, Maryland, Liberty, Georgia State, Florida Atlantic, Coastal Carolina, Charlotte and Eastern Michigan. He originally pledged to Coastal Carolina in February 2020 but backed off this week before the flip to the Green Wave.

A “plugger” at MIKE position, Joseph shines in coverage. He diagnoses plays quickly, ranges well sideline to sideline and chases play down. A very physical tackler, Joseph also provides potential as a pass rusher.

So far this season, Joseph has 55 stops with six for losses plus one interception which he returned for a touchdown. He had 87 tackles with 4.0 sacks last season and 72 stops as a sophomore in 2020.
