Robert Joseph Thread (2011 Prospect)

Just wondering if he has a bio yet. He is a WR at Northwestern High School where Justin Worley plays. He had 22 catches last night for 225 yards. He ended up with 108 catches for over 1000 yards and 16 td's on the year. NW started 0-4, and came back to be Region Champs going 6-5 on the season. Worley ended up with around 35 TD passes and 6 rushing TD so far. Not bad for 2 starting Freshman WR and one Junior WR.

Seems like he would be someone to keep an eye on for next year.

The game was on TV last night and Joseph was phenomenal. Most RB's don't get 22 carries. Didn't matter what coverage, just throw the ball in his area and he caught it. Also had some good RAC.

He isn't a RB, he is a WR, but he does play some RB. 108 receptions in a High School season is nuts, esp b/c they only play 11 games. I've seen him play 2 or 3 times, the kid just simply catches everything. He's gotta at least be getting a look by some big time programs, he's got decent size and amazing agility, plus he's fast as crap.

That's the point I was making. Most RB's don't get 22 touches a game. In addition most receivers won't get 22 passes thrown to them in 2 or 3 games, much less catch that many. Joseph has great hands; if it was in his reach, he caught the ball. He looked like a man among boys last night.
