BUCKEYES OFFER BONSU
OSU defensive backs coach Matt Barnes extended an offer to 2023 safety Jayden Bonsu on Thursday during a trip to New Jersey.

Bonsu, who does not yet hold a composite ranking, has 12 Division offers thus far, a sheet that includes Clemson, Michigan State, Ole Miss, Penn State and Boston College. In 12 games for St. Peters Prep (Hillside, New Jersey), the 6-foot-2, 190-pound Bonsu recorded 62 total tackles (7.5 for loss), 2.5 sacks, two interceptions and eight pass deflections.

 

Sticking with the trend of recruiting the safety position, just hours after leaving Iowa to see the aforementioned Nwankpa, Matt Barnes was back on the road again. He made his way to New Jersey, where another Ohio State offer was dished out as several others have gone out this week. On the receiving end, Jayden Bonsu took to his Twitter account to announce the latest program to enter his recruitment, as the Buckeyes are now in the fold for the St. Peters Prep product.

A 6-foot-2, 190 pound prospect, Bonsu as a high school junior already has the perfect frame for what college coaches are looking for in a safety. The height and length to be a force in pass coverage, but also the weight needed to come downhill and be a threat in the run game. Bonsu possesses both, and has a full year still to get stronger and develop the rest of his game.

Per 247Sports, Bonsu does not currently have a ranking on his profile, but with double-digit offers to his name coming from the likes of Clemson, Michigan State, Penn State, Tennessee, and others with Ohio State now in the fold, clearly he’s not one to be overlooked. Ohio State needs to add quality depth at the safety position, and regardless of what happens in the current 2022 cycle, the staff is going to look to add elite players in 2023 as well.

Moving forward, Bonsu’s name will be one to watch as he and the Buckeyes begin to develop a relationship on the trail.

BONSU TO VISIT OSU NEXT WEEK
A 2023 safety target is planning a visit to Ohio State for later next week. Three-star 2023 New Jersey safety Jayden Bonsu announced he’ll be visiting Columbus on March 25 and 26, which is next Friday and Saturday.

The 6-foot-2, 190-pound Bonsu is ranked as the 367th-best player and the 33rd-best safety in the 2023 cycle. He currently holds 19 offers, including Alabama, Arkansas, Clemson, Miami, Michigan, Michigan State, Penn State, Tennessee and USC.

Bonsu was offered by Ohio State on Dec. 2. In 12 games for St. Peters Prep (Hillside, New Jersey) last season, Bonsu recorded 62 total tackles (7.5 for loss), 2.5 sacks, two interceptions and eight pass deflections.
