      Greg Joseph (born August 4, 1994) is a South African professional American football placekicker for the New York Jets of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football for the Florida Atlantic Owls and signed with the Miami Dolphins as an undrafted free agent in 2018. Joseph has also been a member of several other NFL teams, most notably with the Minnesota Vikings.


      Early life


      Joseph was born in Johannesburg, South Africa, to Glen and Ilana Joseph. In 2001, he and his family moved to West Boca Raton, Florida, as his family sought to leave South Africa, and his mother had family in Florida. Joseph has two younger brothers, Marc and Dylan.
      Joseph is Jewish, and says that Judaism has "absolutely" guided him during his life.
      Joseph played football and soccer at Donna Klein Jewish Academy in Boca Raton, Florida (and was named all-county and all-state) and high school football (in which he was named all-county, all-state, and All-America by MaxPrep.com) at American Heritage School in Delray Beach, Florida. He decided to focus on football after recognizing that he stood a much better chance of getting a college scholarship and going pro in football than in soccer.


      College career


      Joseph spent five years at Florida Atlantic University (FAU) in Boca Raton after walking onto the football team and redshirting his freshman year, and graduated in 2017 with a degree in exercise science and health promotion. He graduated as the Owls' all-time leader in field goals made (57), points scored (336), points after touchdown (PATs) made (165; in 170 attempts), and field goals attempted. He also set the university's single-game records for PATs, field goals, points scored by kicking, and the Owls' longest field goal (54 yards).
      As of February 2019, Joseph was working towards finishing his MBA at FAU.
