Watching ESPN All-Access on Ohio State, you could picture Joey gnashing with O-Lineman in The Circle. He's an absolutely perfect fit for Urban and Coach Mick's system. Kid's going to be a star here. Can't wait to see him in The Horseshoe.

Can you imagine him in coach picks training program? I wonder if he'll get so big that they'll move him inside like what we've done with diesel washinton. Just in case if Hankins leaves early. Isn't he already around 275-280? 10-15 more pounds and he's at DT

It's not always about size but rather speed and athleticism as well. If he can increase his speed and size (as many players do under Coach Mick) while maintaining his athleticism, he could stay at SSDE.

I'd say it's almost a lock he's playing the 3-technique when he gets to Columbus. Once he gets in that strength and conditioning program, he'll naturally get to 300 pounds pretty quickly. With the depth they have on the edge with Spence, Miller, Pittman, Bennett, and Moore, I think he's headed for DT. I'm sure he could still play end (Bellamy started at end last season at 305) too, but he's going to be a monster at DT.

Then again, Washington might be blocking him there for the next few seasons. So who knows, depends on if he can out play Washington/Schutt at DT or Pittman/Moore at SSDE.

St. Thomas Aquinas? Joey Bosa is downright ?dominating?
Ohio State-bound senior Joey Bosa, son of former Dolphins first-round pick John Bosa, brings almost unprecedented muscle to St. Thomas Aquinas? defensive line.

Nowadays, it?s not only vital to have a highlight tape on YouTube if you?re a high school athlete hoping to get noticed by college scouts.

Those who want to set themselves apart display their athletic prowess in other ways ? like by making long-distance basketball shots or throwing a football into a garbage can from the cheap seats inside a stadium.

Joey Bosa never had to do either to get noticed. The All-Broward first-team defensive lineman from St. Thomas Aquinas was so highly sought-after as an underclassman, he has been done with the recruiting process for months. Bosa committed to Ohio State in April.

But the 6-4, 265-pound muscle-bound senior ? and son of former Dolphins first-round pick John Bosa ? still has a pretty cool trick video available on YouTube (with 3,642 views at last count) dubbed Bosa?s Backflip. It?s just one of the many amazing athletic feats, according to his coach, that makes Bosa the best at his position in the country.

Best ever?

?I don?t know how many kids you know that are 6-4, 270 pounds that can walk on their hands for 20 yards and do standing back flips, but you don?t find those every day,? said Rocco Casullo, who is entering his second season as Raiders coach. ?I?ve been here for 11 years, coached a lot of great defensive players. Joey is the most dominating defensive player I?ve ever had. And we?ve had some pretty special guys ? like [Cincinnati Bengals Pro Bowl defensive tackle] Geno Atkins, [Chicago Bears safety] Major Wright, [San Francisco 49ers linebacker] Tavares Gooden ? come through here. Joey is really the complete player. He just loves football.?

Considered the 25th-best player in the nation regardless of position (and tops in Broward County) by Rivals.com, Bosa finished with 28 solo tackles, including 13 for loss, 4 1/2 sacks, a fumble recovery and a forced fumble in nine games last season. He missed three games because of a concussion. He also carries a 3.3 grade-point average. He doesn?t even really have a favorite subject and isn?t shy about it.

?I can?t tell you what Plan B is because I don?t really like any subjects,? Bosa said. ?I just get my work done and get back in the gym, get back to football. I guess when I get to college I?ll figure out what I like. I?ll probably major in business or do something in real estate, maybe become an orthodontist ? just something that I can make a lot of money in.?

Nicki Bosas been having a great year so far, kid will be a stud. It's so hard to play varsity as a freshman. When you're starting for one of the best high schools, and making plays against one of the best high schools, that's very impressive. Joey is all over the place too, looks like John Simon. He's probably put on 20 lbs since last season
