high-upside Pitt linebacker still waiting for his breakout
Jayden Bonsu is a former Ohio State transfer who changed from safety to linebacker at Pitt, and the buzz is all about his size, versatility, and physical upside rather than a big college stat line. In 2025, he was projected as a depth piece with starter-level potential, but he missed the entire season after a lower-leg injury, and later reports said he was recovering from an Achilles issue. If healthy, he’s a developmental fit for a team that values length, speed, and position flexibility—basically, a chess piece with real runway.
