ORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. -- It was just two years ago that current Ohio State star freshman Joey Bosa was a top national prospect coming out of St. Thomas Aquinas in Fort Lauderdale.
Now there is another budding star at the high school that produced three 2014 NFL draft picks, and the last name remains the same.
Class of 2016 defensive lineman Nick Bosa has been a standout the past two years for the Raiders, and like many who have come before him at the talent-rich school, he will be a national recruit with a quickly growing offer list.

“I think I’m at 13 offers now,” Bosa said. “Florida, Florida State, Miami (Fla.), Ohio State, Nebraska, Illinois and Bama are some of them.”
The 6-foot-3, 255-pound defensive end doesn’t have dates locked in yet, but he hopes to hit a number of campuses this summer.
“I’m going to visit Florida State," Bosa said. "Obviously, I’ll be taking a couple more visits to Ohio State to visit my brother. I want to see Florida and Bama. I visited [Miami], and liked what I saw there. I’ve been to Florida before with my brother, but I want to go back and see it now for myself.”
One thing is for certain in regard to Bosa’s recruitment: Most will have him pegged for Ohio State. But as far as Bosa is concerned, that's just speculation as he is still very early in the process.
“I don’t know, and nobody will know until I make my decision, which will probably be a year from now," he said. "I’m just trying to see my options because I’m lucky enough to have all these great options. I’ve just been able to see Ohio State a lot because my brother is there. I mean, I love it there, but that doesn’t mean I won’t love it somewhere else better.”
The comfort and relationship with defensive line coaches will play a big factor in Bosa’s recruitment.
“Sitting down with the D-line coach and seeing what and how he teachers, because obviously that is going to be big for me every day," Bosa said. "Obviously, the people around the programs, too. My brother has told me that the facilities are great everywhere, but it’s what you will learn and how you will be taught that is most important.”
Bosa was a Class 7A first-team all-state selection following the 2013 season.
