Polite does not play like his suggested name. The senior is tough, playing with great activity, popping out his stance and utilizing his hands at the point of attack to great effect. At around 6’2″, Polite still occupies space, getting consistent leverage, which indicates an above average arm length. Impactful hands at point of attack; on top of impressive leverage Polite plays good pad level too. His quick hands and feet really make a difference. Polite is a highly functional athlete who shows body control to change directions on the fly, couple that with a solid motor after the football, and you get a lot of tackles cleaning up from the backside. He’s a D1 caliber defensive tackle, and should continue to garner interest from FBS programs. Senior film shows Polite playing more explosive, looking stronger with hands, and covering the distance between him and the ball carrier quickly. The improve speed is noticeable on film, and considering his excellent fundamentals, you have a legit sleeper defensive tackle in the class of 2025. A few years from now, everyone could be looking back wondering how everyone missed Joseph Polite. Being pretty good at everything and a solid athlete can do that for you.
