“Blessed!” That’s the word Josh Conerly Jr. uses to describe himself. On his official Instagram, which features only a handful of posts from his time with the Oregon Ducks, the young offensive tackle is eager to fill his feed with NFL moments.

A top talent for this year’s NFL Draft, the 21-year-old is embracing the opportunity of a lifetime. He is also looked at as a potential OT of the Kansas City Chiefs and the Baltimore Ravens. But before anything else, Josh Conerly Jr. made sure to thank God for every step of his football journey. He also expressed gratitude to his coach, Dan Lanning, and everyone who played a role behind the scenes. And above all, he gave a heartfelt thanks to his parents and family – the ones who have supported him in every step of the way.

Who is Josh Conerly Jr.’s father, Joshua Conerly Sr.?

Born on November 5, 2003 in Seattle, Josh Conerly Jr. is one of the seven children of dad Joshua Conerly Sr. and mom Jamila Conerly. Being in such a big family, it was always for the player to self-motivate himself to achieve success. That’s the reason, once in an interview, he said, “My six siblings (are the biggest inspiration in my life). I’m the oldest of them all, so they keep me going. I just want to set the best example as (much as) possible.” And now with an NFL possibility, he will definitely set an example for his siblings. But who could be more proud that his father Joshua Sr. – especially when the man himself handles most of the son’s things.

Many star personalities need a PR or advertiser. For Josh Conerly Jr., his father is the one. Dad Joshua is active on social media. But his social media profiles (generally X) are not dedicated to his personal lives. Instead, it is for his son, Josh. Yes! The man frequently shares updates about his son’s football career. Not only that! He even engages with Josh’s fans on the platform, showing his love for the people who support him.

But yeah, when we consider the support system of Josh Conerly Jr.’s life, his father is not behind. His teachings have helped a lot in building Josh’s personality. And that could easily be witnessed in the message he has for all, especially his son on his X’s bio: “Longwinded running through this life like it was mine. Never settling but setting every goal high. Whatever you do, give your heart to it and stay strong.” Indeed, Joshua Conerly Sr. knows how to push his son for success, just like his momma does!

Who is Josh Conerly Jr.’s mother, Jamila Conerly?

Besides his father, Josh Conerly Jr.’s mom Jamila Conerly is also one of his biggest supporters. She, along with the family, even accompanies her elder son at big events of his life. From raising seven kids to being the pillar for everyone in their dreams, his mother has done a lot of sacrifices. Although the depth of her love and sacrifices can’t be measured for her kids, Josh knows how to acknowledge these efforts.

Sharing his NFL Draft eligibility news, Josh Conerly Jr. posted a note on his official Instagram account. He wrote: “I would like to thank….my parents, siblings, and the village for always believing in me and having my back through it all. You’ve believed in me on the days I struggled to believe in myself, I can’t thank you enough for all the sacrifices you’ve made to help me chase this dream.” Beautiful, isn’t it? No matter what, his momma is proud of him.

Replying to her son’s post on IG, Jamila Conerly wrote, “Amen!! So proud of you Son!! Mama’s gonna support you no matter what! No (know) that! If anybody deserves this it’s you!! Keep grinding LET’S GO!! (star emoji).” We clearly can see that Josh Conerly Jr.’s parents are eagerly waiting to see their son reaching new heights and achieving his NFL dream this year.
