Joseph Woodard is a powerful and agile edge rusher for the Broncos, known for his relentless pursuit and physical presence on the defensive line. A product of Glenn High School in Winston-Salem, NC, Joseph was recognized as the Most Outstanding Athlete, a testament to his athleticism and leadership on the field.

Now entering his senior year at FSU, Joseph continues to develop both on and off the field. He is majoring in Cybersecurity, with aspirations of securing a high-paying role in the tech industry or continuing his football career at the next level.

Joseph chose FSU on a full-ride scholarship, drawn by the opportunity to grow as a student-athlete in a competitive and supportive environment. While his collegiate accolades are still building, his work ethic and potential make him a key contributor to the Broncos' defense.

Off the field, Joseph has a hidden talent—he can play a musical instrument—and is passionate about technology and personal growth. He also values giving back, having participated in community service through coaching and mentoring.
