| Combine Coach's Overall Comments |
| Josh has a good teechnical foundation. He reads the ggame well. Must remember to not get too high and flat as a CB when his team is in possession. He needs games, as most of his mistakes can get fixed with more experience. Can play some right back and defensive center midfieder if called on. Good player with professional potential. |
