A 4-star cornerback from Hialeah, Florida, Joseph is the 199-ranked player overall and 19th-ranked cornerback among all 2018 recruits.

Joseph burst onto the scene at Champagnat Catholic School as a hard-hitting safety who excelled as a playmaker in center field and a fearless downhill presence who showed a knack for crashing down on ball-carriers at the line of scrimmage.

However, solid size (6'1 ½", 180 lbs) and speed have made him an intriguing prospect as a boundary defender.

Alabama, it turns out, bought into that potential after watching Joseph excel at a school-sponsored camp in July.

"They are telling me that they would love to coach me," Joseph said of the Crimson Tide following the camp, per AL.com's Drew Champlin. "I have a great chance of playing early and I would fit right in. We really looked over the depth chart this time."

Looking ahead, Joseph gives the Tide another versatile option who will be able to contribute from a variety of spots on the back end.

Along with fellow 4-star commit Jalyn Armour-Davis, Joseph should help keep the Crimson Tide secondary in esteemed standing as Saban and Co. try to field a title-caliber defense through the end of the decade.
