Josiah Sharma, who goes by the nickname "Suga Bear," loves everybody in his family, but it's his mom and grandmother that are a special inspiration to him. "My mom will always be there to support me in anything I do, and I will always appreciate her, in that she's an extremely hard-working women and I hope to live up to those standards I was taught," Sharma told 247Sports. "And my grandma has been supporting me since I was born. She was like a second mother to me." Sharma finished the 2023 season in high school with 45 tackles, 15 tackles for a loss, two forced fumbles and one safety.
