Josh Palmer hails from Brampton, Ontario where he initially played for St. Roch Catholic Secondary School before transferring to the states to play for national powerhouse St. Thomas Aquinas in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. He ended his high school career as a three-star prospect and initially committed to play college football at Syracuse before changing his mind to Tennessee following his senior season.
Palmer’s time at Tennessee didn’t exactly play out in the same manner that you’d expect from a future NFL draft pick. Most players who end up getting drafted either produced at an elite level through most of their career or they have a rich pedigree behind them while playing in a stacked position group.
