Early years
Joey Din was born and raised in San Diego, CA. His father was in the navy as an aircraft mechanic and his mother was a school teacher. His father retired from the navy and they decided to stay in SD where he started his own taco shop because tacos rock. Joey attended Eastlake high school where he mainly played baseball as a first baseman for his team, it wasn't until his senior year that he decided to try football. Joey was a natural becoming one of the best DE/TE in the state playing both sides of the ball. Despite getting offers to play at several D1 baseball schools and even getting drafted by the Minnesota Twins in the last round of the draft. He decided to take his natural ability to play tight end and defensive end to Tucson AZ to play football at the University of Arizona as a walk on
College career
At the University of Arizona Joey was redshirted. Joey knew he was the best player in that team, but he had to prove himself first. After the first 6 games of the season the wildcats had 6 consecutive losses and some injuries on both side of the ball. The coach's knew something had to change which opened the door not Joey to get his first start. His stat line consisted of 2 sacks a TFL and 5 tackles on top of that. He even had a 15 yard reception at TE. Joey finished his junior season at Arizona with 69 tackles, 30.5 sacks, and 29 tackles for loss. Joey wasn't viewed as a strong prospect, most scouts said he has no technique. All he used was his strength and size to make plays. Joey knew what he had to do. We had a press conference and said he was going to prove all the doubter wrong and then decided to declare for the DSFL Draft
