CARSON, Calif. – Ohio State fans have expressed mixed feelings toward Nick Bosa since the former Buckeyes defensive end announced in October that he would leave the team and withdraw from school to focus on his recovery from core muscle surgery and prepare for the 2019 NFL draft.
When Bosa showed up at the StubHub Center for Ohio State’s third practice of Rose Bowl week on Friday, however, there was nothing mixed about the way he was welcomed back by his former teammates.
As soon as he made his way down the sideline to the opposite end zone of the field where players were stretching, players and coaches immediately began stepping out of their stretching lines to embrace Bosa and take a moment to catch up with their former teammate, who is now living in Los Angeles with his older brother, fellow former Ohio State defensive end Joey Bosa, who plays and practices at the StubHub Center as a member of the Los Angeles Chargers.
