I know he's trying to play at 275 this year, and he's almost there. I wonder how big he will be in college. He will probably be at 280 when he walks on campus next year.

He'll be an absolute monster of a Freshman DT/DE or where ever they decide to play him at. I love watching his Junior Highlight hearing Luginville talking him up on that channel. Good stuff and like you, always puts a smile on my face. :oh:

Repping out 500 lbs on squats...no big deal.

:lol: I know, right?


I can't wait to hear about the weight room and conditioning battles between Bosa and Mitchell... sounds like we're getting (knock on wood for Mitchell, of course) two Johnny Simons (in terms of physicality and work ethic)... if they can get close to matching production and leadership, well... I would almost feel bad for the offense they're munching on

Ohio State pulled out all the usual stops when one of the nation's top high school football prospects visited campus in April.

Joey Bosa, a five-star defensive end from Fort Lauderdale, Fla., met with coach Urban Meyer and his staff. He walked through Ohio Stadium, toured the football facilities, and posed for a picture in a scarlet Buckeyes jersey.

But OSU also unveiled its secret recruiting weapon: a meeting with the president.

Gordon Gee, the charismatic bow-tied chief executive of Ohio State, met with Bosa, his younger brother, and their parents for a half hour.

"If you come here, you have to go to a frat party with me," Gee playfully told the recruit, recalled Bosa's mother, Cheryl.

"I'll do that, but only if you teach me how me to tie a bow tie," Bosa replied.

After Bosa left, Meyer thanked the president for his help.

"Once again we realize how busy your schedule is and we appreciate you taking time yesterday to meet with Joey Bosa (St. Thomas Aquinas HS) and his family," he wrote Gee in an email dated April 13. "His mother, Cheryl, a Buckeye alum, was quite impressed with the fact that you were taking a personal interest in the recruiting of players for the football team."

"I am truly honored to be part of your recruiting team," Gee replied.

In a later email, Gee added: "How can I help get this across the goal line?"

Bosa committed to Ohio State the next week.

Bosa, who also considered attending Alabama, Florida State, and Michigan, among other major programs, felt the same way. He met with a handful of university presidents on recruiting visits, though none left an impression quite like the self-deprecating one in the bow tie and suspenders. Cheryl Bosa said her son "adored" Gee.

"Some of the presidents are very staunch and tight, so it didn't really affect things so much," Cheryl Bosa said. "[Gee's] personality definitely makes a difference."

Bosa, rated a top-25 prospect by nearly every recruiting service, left Columbus feeling confident in his decision. So did Ohio State. "Very close to getting him!" Meyer wrote in an email to Gee. "He's a difference maker."

Gee is a lot of thinds but he is a friend of the fb program.

Has always been a supporter.

Even when he was here in the Cooper Lucky Wooden Pig Era.

Contrast his efforts v the bitter hag Hoolbrook.
Who couldn't wait to get on the first jet out of town on fb weekends.

Free Rivals - Southeast Region: Six to watch

1. DL Joey Bosa, 6-foot-5, 270 pounds, Fort Lauderdale (Fla.) St. Thomas Aquinas: Bosa, a four-star defensive, had a productive junior season recording 52 tackles, 18 tackles for loss, and eight sacks. However, the Ohio State commit missed some time last season. That included a 27-20 overtime loss to Miramar (Fla.) that snapped the school's 19-game win streak.

Bosa is one of the most athletic defensive linemen in this year's class. He offers scheme versatility, which allows him to line up inside in addition to his normal end spot. The talented run-stopper spent the summer taking unofficial visits and didn't attend any of the elite summer events. He missed an opportunity to measure himself against some of the premier offensive linemen on the national scene. Look for him to post bigger numbers if he can stay healthy during his senior campaign.
