Bosa quick to impress Buckeyes
True freshman follows in father’s, uncle’s mold

COLUMBUS — John Bosa tried to keep his older son, Joey, away from the family business, nudging him toward baseball and basketball.
Bosa knew well the toll of a football life, the injuries that cut short the promising careers of him and his brother-in-law — both first-round picks by the Miami Dolphins — still fresh.
“You know, I’m a nervous dad,” he said.
By the time Joey was in fifth grade, though, John relented to his son’s appeals. The result was unnerving but exciting. John knew then Joey and his younger son, Nick, would follow in his outsized steps.
“My sons are football players,” John said. “That’s just what they are. From the minute in youth league when they put the pads on, I was just was like, ‘Good Lord.’ Wow.”
Years later, the brothers from Fort Lauderdale, Fla., continue to inspire similar reactions. Joey is starting — and occasionally dominating — as a true freshman defensive end at fourth-ranked Ohio State while Nick is one of the top sophomore prospects in the country, already holding a scholarship offer from the Buckeyes.
They have a five-star lineage with deep OSU ties. John, an All-American defensive end at Boston College, and the boys’ uncle, Eric Kumerow, a 6-foot-7 star linebacker at Ohio State, were top-20 picks by the Dolphins in 1987 and 1988. It was also in Miami where John met and married Kumerow’s sister, Cheryl, an OSU alum.

Agreed! He was a man out there against NW. Just all over the place making plays!This young man deserves a bump to the first page after the way he played last night. He was a difference maker.
It sure did last night. I see our D-line improving each week and hopefully we can win out all the way until we get to go to big house.
