PERSONAL: From Fontana, Calif. ... son of Julian and Filifili Church ... has two older siblings Jeannie and Julian ... favorite athlete is Tyron Smith because he said he is the best offensive tackle in the modern era ... chose to attend Fresno State because of the environment ... is an economics major.
Assoc. HC/OC Ryan Grubb’s remark on Church....
“Church is very raw, athletic and powerful. He is going to be a big kid with wide hips and quick feet. He was one of the most hidden offensive linemen in the state of California. I really believe that. Seeing his athleticism and raw power, he is extremely strong. He reminds me a lot of Syrus Tuitele out of high school. He will be physically different from a lot of kids. Joseph comes from an unbelievable family, high character. They committed to the feeling of family here and that came from our players.”
