Versatile New Jersey Safety Jayden Bonsu Has Ohio State “High” on His List, Plans an Official Visit for June 17

Ohio State has always been drawn to Jayden Bonsu’s versatility.

Since the Buckeyes began recruiting the three-star safety in December, Ohio State envisioned the 6-foot-2, 205-pound prospect being capable of playing all three safety positions in its defense.

Bonsu got onto Ohio State's radar after a breakout junior season at Saint Peter’s Prep (Hillside, New Jersey), a school he just transferred to last summer. He picked up nearly 20 Division I offers last fall as he recorded 62 total tackles (7.5 for loss), 2.5 sacks, two interceptions and eight pass deflections.

“He played multiple spots last year, which I usually never ask a transfer to do,” Saint Peter’s coach Rich Hansen told Eleven Warriors.
