Last season, Ohio State defensive end Joey Bosa said if he were to break the school’s single-season sack record, he would trade in his trademark shrug for something a little more daring.
“I’d probably do a backflip,” Bosa said.
He came close, too, but never had the opportunity to put his high-flying skills on display. Bosa finished the 2014 campaign with 13.5 sacks, just shy of Vernon Gholston’s school record of 14 set back in 2007.
Bosa also finished his sophomore season with 21.5 tackles for loss — third-most all time at Ohio State for a single season — as he was named a unanimous first-team All-American and the Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year.
