Nick Bosa 2019 NFL Draft Profile<\/strong><\/h1>\n

NFL bloodlines pervade Nick Bosa<\/a><\/strong>‘s family. Obviously, his older brother Joey has made a name for himself as a premier pass rusher in his three seasons with the Los Angeles Chargers<\/a> thus far. But it doesn’t end there. His father John and uncle, Eric Kumerow<\/a><\/strong>, were both first-round picks in the late 1980s. Even going back one more generation, you can find members of his family who boast NFL experience. Nick’s grandfather and great uncle, Palmer Pyle<\/a><\/strong> and Mike Pyle<\/a><\/strong>, played multiple seasons in the league as offensive linemen during the 1960s.<\/p>\n

Much like his brother, Nick excelled as a defensive end at St. Thomas Aquinas High School in the Miami area. It led to him earning consensus five-star recruit status with Rivals rating him the number 21 overall prospect in 2016. In another similarity to Joey, Nick made the journey north to Columbus to play his college ball. He was part of a 2016\u00a0Ohio State recruiting class that included another player expected to go in the first round of this year’s draft, Dwayne Haskins<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Urban Meyer<\/strong> thrust Bosa into the ringer right off the bat, and he didn’t disappoint. He tallied five sacks and seven tackles for loss en route to ESPN Freshman All-American honors in his first season with the Buckeyes. The following year was his best in Scarlet and Gray. His 8.5 sacks and 16 tackles for loss were both top five among Big Ten players. It resulted in him winning the Big Ten’s defensive lineman of the year in addition to earning first-team All-American honors from the AFCA. Bosa was on pace to put up big numbers once again in 2018. But he suffered a core muscle injury against TCU and later decided to withdraw from school to focus on the draft.<\/p>\n
