Joey Ivie IV (born January 22, 1995) is an American football defensive tackle for the Kansas City Chiefs of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football at the University of Florida.
Early years
Ivie attended Pasco High School, where he played football for the Pirates for four years, becoming a starter at defensive tackle as a junior, registering 53 tackles (18 for loss).
In his last year, Ivie moved to left defensive end and made 89 tackles (8 for loss). Sometimes he lined up at fullback and tight end as well. He also played basketball at center as a freshman.
College career
Ivie accepted a football scholarship from the University of Florida. He is the third generation in his family to attend the school in Gainesville. As a true freshman, he removed his redshirt status late in the season due to the team's depth issues, playing as a backup in three of the last five games.
As a sophomore, Ivie made 24 tackles (3 for loss) and one sack as a backup. As a junior, he started 5 out of 10 games, posting 27 tackles (4 for loss) and 3.5 sacks. As a senior, he started 10 out of 11 games (a broken thumb cost him 2 contests), registering 26 tackles (3.5 for loss), 2.5 sacks and 7 quarterback hurries.
Ivie spent most of his college career as a nose tackle on a defensive line rotation that included talented players like Jonathan Bullard and Caleb Brantley.
