a seasoned Notre Dame interior presence with a grind-first reputation
In the 2018 season, Jonathan Bonner started all 13 games for Notre Dame and posted 30 tackles, 3.5 tackles for loss, and 2.0 sacks, showing reliable rotational-to-starter value on the defensive line.[12] His appeal goes beyond the box score: Notre Dame coverage described him as a graduate student who earned his role through persistence, and he was credited with holding his own against elite competition in camp while developing into a sturdier, more disruptive defender.[3][11] He’s a good fit for a team that wants a disciplined, high-motor DL with size, maturity, and a team-first edge.[6][15]
