Ohio State's Other Defensive Players Must Step Up Following Nick Bosa's Decision to Focus on NFL

For the first two-and-a-half games of Ohio State’s 2018 season, Nick Bosa was arguably the best player in college football.

Unfortunately for the Buckeyes, two-and-a-half games was all Bosa’s third and final season at Ohio State would last.

Ohio State announced Tuesday that Bosa, who has been sidelined since suffering a core muscle injury in the Buckeyes’ third game of the season against TCU, made the decision this week to withdraw from school “in order to devote more time to his rehabilitation and training efforts” as he recovers from the surgery he underwent in September and prepares for the 2019 NFL draft.
