Joshua Hagerty (born July 27, 1998) is a professional Canadian football defensive back for the Toronto Argonauts of the Canadian Football League (CFL).
University career

Professional career
Hagerty was drafted in the sixth round, 47th overall, in the 2021 CFL Draft by the Toronto Argonauts and signed with the team on May 13, 2021.[5] He made the team following training camp and played in his first career professional game on August 7, 2021, against the Calgary Stampeders.[2] After his teammate, Crezdon Butler, suffered a concussion, Hagerty made his first career start, at safety, on September 10, 2021, against the Hamilton Tiger-Cats, where he recorded the first four defensive tackles of his career.[6][7]

Hagerty's father, Jeff, also played football for the Saskatchewan Huskies and won a Vanier Cup with the team in 1990.[6]
