Joey Bosa (born July 11, 1995) is an American football defensive end for the San Diego Chargers of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football at Ohio State. He was selected third overall by the Chargers in the 2016 NFL draft.

High school career

Bosa attended St. Thomas Aquinas High School in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.[1] He was rated by Rivals.com as a four-star recruit and was ranked as the fourth best defensive end in his class.[2] Bosa committed to play college football at Ohio State University in April 2012.[3]

College career

As a true freshman in 2013, Bosa started 10 of 14 games, recording 44 tackles and 7.5 sacks.[4] He was named a freshman All-American by the Sporting News and College Football News.[5] In 2014, Bosa was named a Unanimous First Team All-American, the 27th Buckeye in 84 years to do so.[6] He finished his sophomore year with 13.5 sacks on 55 tackles.

On July 30, 2015, it was announced that Bosa would be suspended from the first game of the 2015 season with three other Ohio State football players for undisclosed reasons. During his junior year, Bosa finished with 5 sacks and an interception on 47 tackles. On December 31, 2015, he announced his intentions to enter the 2016 NFL Draft.

During the 2016 Fiesta Bowl against Notre Dame on January 1, 2016, Bosa was ejected in the first quarter for a targeting penalty when he made a hit on quarterback DeShone Kizer. Ohio State won the Bowl game 44–28.[7] After his junior season he entered the 2016 NFL Draft.[8]

Awards

Bosa was a highly decorated Buckeye receiving National and Conference honors beginning his Freshman year. In 2013, Bosa was named a First Team Freshman All-American [9] as well as selected to the Freshman All-Big Ten First Team.[10] In 2014, his Sophomore year, he was named Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year, Big Ten Lineman of the Year, First Team All-American and All-Big Ten, as well as a Lombardi Award Finalist. He repeated most of the honors his Junior year, falling short of claiming the Nagurski-Woodson Defensive Player of the Year for the second time.
