Bonsu concludes his Buckeye career having never played a single snap in a game, be it on defense or special teams. Due to injuries, he served as a second-string safety in spring practice this year, but by the end of preseason camp freshman Jaylen McClain had passed him on the depth chart.
A four-star prospect in the recruiting class of 2023, Bonsu landed as the No. 274 overall recruit and No. 24 safety in the 247Sports composite rankings. He was at the center of some signing-day drama on Dec. 22, 2022, but ultimately inked his NLI to Ohio State after committing to Ryan Day's program on Aug. 14 of that year.
Following Bonsu's departure the Buckeyes are still projected to have superstar Caleb Downs, a somewhat experienced Malik Hartford, McClain, South Carolina transfer Keenan Nelson Jr. and freshman Leroy Roker returning at safety from this year's roster. They also have a top-50 prospect signed in their 2025 recruiting class at the position in Faheem Delane, alongside four-star prospect DeShawn Stewart and three-star in-state recruit Cody Haddad.

Best of luck. But PT is tough to come by at a place like OSU. Best of luck to him, but this one was only a matter of time.

Too soon old, too late smart
This kind of transfer has to be expected by the coaches. For whatever reason, Bonsu didn't impress enough to get some of those limited minutes. A by product of recruiting well over time, as tOSU certainly does. Hope the young man takes what he has learned at tOSU and finds himself a place to play. Getting passed up cannot be any fun at all.
