The way he releases and leverages defenders has a smoothness to it that makes the game look easy, but I know it takes a lot of hard work to create the kind of production he's had. He put up over 500 yards and 7 TD in one of the toughest conferences in the county and already put up 98 yards and a touch last week against St. Augustine last week. Zion is committed to play for 2021 ACC Champion Pitt Panthers!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='301154' first='Jayden' last='Bonsu'], DB, 2023</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/16218146/Jayden-Bonsu/about">https://www.hudl.com/profile/16218146/Jayden-Bonsu/about</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>At 6'2, 200 pounds, Jayden is one of the top safety prospects in the country. Jayden in a force in the box, transitioning quickly from pass to run and shutting down any chance of run after the catch yardage. He's also got great ball skills in coverage, and with his long arms he get his hands on a lot of passes that would be completion for any other safety. Jayden had a stat line any defender would be proud of last year with 2.5 sacks, 7.5 TFLs, 42 solo tackles, 2 forced fumbles, 2 ints and a pick 6! That's why his skills and talents have netted him a scholarship from THE Ohio State University!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/JaydenBonsu/status/1519408433786761218","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/JaydenBonsu/status/1519408433786761218 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Champ Long, QB, 2023</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/15065773/Champ-Long/about">https://www.hudl.com/profile/15065773/Champ-Long/about</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Maryland Terrapins commit heads an elite offense in one of the most talent laden conferences in the country.

He fires out of his stance quickly in the run game, often running defensive lineman 5 to 10 yard down the field or just burying them on the spot.
