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.
