Josh Falo will get his chance to make an NFL roster. Falo received an invitation to the New York Jets’ rookie minicamp. It at least gives Falo a foot in the door and a chance to show what he can do.
Falo played tight end, linebacker, defensive end and punter at Inderkum High in Sacramento, California. As a senior, he earned USA TODAY All-California Second Team and 2016 Prep Star All-America honors.
The former four-star prospect flashed glimpses of his potential multiple times over his USC career, but injuries caused to miss a lot of playing time.
Falo’s best season at USC was a limited-game campaign in which he totaled 10 catches and 158 yards. Falo did not record a catch in 2020 or 2021. In 2019 and 2022, Falo struggled to see significant action, averaging 4 catches and 26.5 yards and totaling 3 touchdowns. He made some appearances but wasn’t a centerpiece of any USC offense he played for.
Falo ended on a high note in his final season, adding a noticeable amount of size and developing more into a blocking tight end.
Among the players invited to #Jets rookie minicamp: USC TE Josh Falo, per source. 6-5, 248, 4.77 in the 40.
