Pascagoula (Miss.) 2015 defensive end Keith Joseph, Jr. moved from Gautier (Miss.) for his junior season, and quickly found his stride.

The 6-foot-3, 220-pound standout recorded 67 tackles, 17 tackles for loss, 5 sacks, 3 fumble recoveries, a forced fumble, and an interception for the 10-2 Pascagoula Panthers, and has attracted the attention of college coaches.

Arizona State has already extended an offer and in-state programs are aware of what Joseph brings to the table.

"I believe Mississippi State has sent letters and stuff and when they played Alabama they invited me to their game," Joseph said. "Ole Miss invited me to when they played Missouri but I couldn't make it."

He enjoyed his trip to Starkville, but at this point in the process he is keeping an open mind.

"I'm just taking everything in because it's really all new to me. I'm just taking everything in and doing what I have to do to get offers," Joseph said. "Yeah right now I'm not worried with recruiting too much. I just want to get on the field and play."

As the son of former Mississippi State defensive lineman Keith Joseph, Joseph admits he was a bit of a Mississippi State fan growing up, and knows he has an invaluable resource. The two watch video and breakdown his play, but of all the advice a couple of pieces stick out in his mind.

"The best piece of advice was he always told me to do everything at 100-percent. If you do that more than likely you are going to go very far," Joseph said. "He also told me to use my eyes and my hands."
