As Nick Bosa and his family came to understand the amount of time that it would take the Ohio State defensive end to fully recover after he underwent core muscle surgery in September, it started to become clear that it would not be in Bosa’s best interest to try to return to play any more games for the Buckeyes.
That doesn’t mean, however, that Bosa’s decision to withdraw from Ohio State this week and officially end his college football career was an easy decision for him to make.
“It’s a tough pill to swallow,” Bosa’s father, John, told Eleven Warriors on Tuesday night.
