97 • NICK BOSADefensive End • 6-4 • 263Junior/JuniorFort Lauderdale, Fla.

Ohio State Overview: Nick Bosa is an all-time great Ohio State defensive lineman … a 2017 Big Ten Conference Smith-Brown defensive lineman of the year and an American Football Coach-es Association fi rst-team All-American, Bosa was considered by many as the best player in college football through the fi rst several games of the 2018 season … his 6.0 tackles-for-loss, totaling 43 yards, ranked 10th nationally and were accumulated in only about three halves of football … his four quarterback sacks – third-most nationally – included a strip sack of TCU quarterback Shawn Robinson that resulted in a fumble and an Ohio State touchdown in the hard-fought win … he had tied his career high in tackles – fi ve – in two of the three games this sea-son, and he was the Buckeyes’ leading tackler with 14 … his two fumble recoveries included one he recovered for a touchdown against Oregon State … Bosa was injured in the third quarter of the TCU game though, and after having surgery, he missed the rest of the season, yet still earned honorable mention all-Big Ten honors … with that injury came the close of the Bosa era for Ohio State football … either Nick, or brother Joey, had played for the Buckeyes in 71 of the past 72 games dating to 2013 … and like his brother, Nick was similarly dominant … in fact, the two had virtually identical stats through 30 games: Joey had 34.5 tackles for loss and Nick had 29.0; Joey had 21.0 quarterback sacks and Nick had 17.5 … and here is the testament to how good Nick was: he had similar stats to Joey yet had played more than 600 fewer snaps … as a sophomore in 2017 Bosa led the Buckeyes in tack-les-for-loss (16.0) and TFL yardage (74) with another team-high with 8.0 quarterback sacks … he was second in the Big Ten in both TFLs and sacks … consistently outstanding, he was named a game “champion” by the Ohio State coaches for his eff orts in all 12 wins in 2017, the only defensive player to achieve the feat … he was part of a terrifi c quartet of rotating defensive ends that combined for 42 tackles-for-loss and 24 quarterback sacks, with only eight defensive snaps separating them (Tyquan Lewis led with 534 and was followed by Sam Hubbard with 531, Jalyn Holmes with 527 and Bosa with 526) … Bosa was second on the team as a true freshman in 2016 with 5.0 quarterback sacks … he was an Academic All-Big Ten Conference honoree and a two-time OSU Scholar-Athlete majoring in communications.
