That is so awesome!
I put a link to a fan website that listed the top 50 WYO Cowboys JA17 ranked 8th
#1 He is the most famous player to play there and his WYO jersey is still a huge seller
#2 He is a huge legend breaking his collar bone on his RIGHT Shoulder in 7 places in his rookie debut after scoring a TD then as an encore he ran for another 24 yards and took on a LB trying for a few more.
#3 Took the Cowboys to a Bowl game the next year the Poinsettias Bowl against the BYU Cougars but lost 24-21 throwing a pick on the final drive.
#4 Took them back to a Bowl game the next year the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl this time beating the Central Michigan Chippewa's 37-14 throwing 3 TD passes and was named MVP of the game.
The kicker is he missed the last 2 games of the season with a injury to his throwing shoulder and most of these college guys that are draft eligible would pack it in and not play but that is not Josh.
I watched that game and he proved he was the Alpha Dog that day the kind of guy your teammates love respect and admire.
#5 He led the 'Boys to their first ever win in history against the Boise State Broncos(he won the bowl game on their blue turf)
He wound up #8 on the all time WYO Cowboys list in only 2 years playing.
