For several years, Joey Bosa tormented Big Ten and other teams for Ohio State.

Just when offenses thought they were free of Bosa, his younger brother enrolled as a Buckeye and picked right up where he left off.

As a freshman last year, Bosa made 29 tackles with seven being for loss and five sacks.

This season, Bosa racked up 32 tackles, 14.5 for loss and seven sacks to go along with two passes defended and a forced fumble.

The 6-4, 270-pounder can play either end or tackle along the line, and his skills have NFL scouts drooling to get their hands on him.

Bosa closed out the season strong for Ohio State, making nine tackles and two sacks in wins over Michigan and Wisconsin.

The Buckeyes take on Southern Cal in the Cotton Bowl later this month.
