PREP RALLY: THE LIST
JUNIOR LINEBACKER
SCHOOL Bentonville
HEIGHT 6-0
WEIGHT 215
THE NUMBERS An all-state selection who compiled 80 tackles last sea-
son, as well as four tackles for loss and a quarterback sack. … Has
already drawn interest from colleges such as Bowling Green,
Tulsa, Louisiana-Monroe and Alabama-Birmingham. …
Saw limited time in the offensive backfield, where he had
eight carries for 51 yards and a 24-yard pass reception,
but he was mostly a blocking back. Bentonville coach
Jody Grant, however, said Joyce could be a featured
running back if not for his value to the Tigers'
defense. … Runs sprints on the Tigers' track
team.

help me more. I think the sopho
-
more season went well, but there's
a lot to improve on, like being
able to complete more tackles. We
worked a lot on tackling during the
offseason and going from side to
side. I also went into track during the off-
season and that helped me out with my speed.
I definitely prefer linebacker because it's in my blood —
like that's my position. I kept doing speed drills, and my
weight gradually went up with it."
