Stats
Bosa played in all 13 games as a true freshman at Ohio State in 2016, recording 29 tackles, seven of which were for a loss, and five sacks.
In his sophomore year, he became the starting defensive end for the Buckeyes in seven games. Bosa was named a unanimous First Team All-Big Ten and the Smith-Brown Big Ten Defensive Lineman of the Year for his 32 total tackles (14.5 for a loss) and a team leading seven sacks. Additionally, he had two pass breakups, eight quarterback hurries and a blocked kick.
On September 20, 2018, it was reported that Bosa underwent core muscle surgery, ruling him out indefinitely. On October 16, Bosa announced that he was withdrawing from Ohio State for the rest of the season. After the season, Bosa decided to forgo his senior year and enter the 2019 NFL Draft.
Dad
His brother, Joey Bosa, also played college football at Ohio State before being selected third overall by the San Diego Chargers in the 2016 NFL Draft. Their father, John Bosa, was a first round pick by the Miami Dolphins in the 1987 NFL Draft out of Boston College. His uncle Eric Kumerow, and cousin Jake Kumerow have also played in the NFL. His grand-uncle, Mike Pyle, also played in the NFL. He is the great-grandson of former Chicago Outfit leader Tony Accardo.
Injury
On Aug. 25, defensive end Nick Bosa made his long-awaited return to one-on-one pass rush and drills after missing most of the 2020 season with a torn ACL in his left knee.
Bosa has been one of the best players on the 49ers roster from the moment he was drafted. Of course, he missed nearly all of last season, however, after tearing his ACL in a Week 2 victory over the New York Jets. … Bosa’s playing days at Ohio State were cut short by a core muscle injury that required surgery.
When will Return
Bosa (knee) recorded four tackles (all solo), three tackles for a loss and a sack in Sunday’s 41-33 win over the Lions.
Bosa was making his return from a torn ACL that he suffered in the early stages of the 2020 campaign. The 23-year-old phenom looked like his former dominant self, even in a competitive matchup against prized rookie offensive tackle Penei Sewell. The key for Bosa and his IDP managers was that he finished the contest with no setbacks to the surgically-repaired knee. Bosa and the 49ers‘ defense will look to contain Jalen Hurts in a Week 2 matchup against the Eagles on Sunday.
