When four-star New Jersey safety Jayden Bonsu scheduled his commitment for July 20, there wasn’t much optimism at the Woody Hayes Athletic Center. If he would have made a college decision then, it was almost certainly going to be Miami.
But after Bonsu delayed his commitment for three weeks, Ohio State was able to regain momentum in his recruitment. His relationship with OSU safeties coach Perry Eliano and Ryan Day, along with the three-safety scheme Jim Knowles utilizes at Ohio State, was enough to convince Bonsu to become a Buckeye instead of a Hurricane.
