49ers will hold pre-draft meeting with Ohio State DE Nick Bosa, John Lynch confirms

The San Francisco 49ers met with defensive end Nick Bosa at Ohio State's pro day last week, at the Combine last month, and during the week leading to the Rose Bowl in January. The team is not done with him yet. The 49ers will host Bosa for a pre-draft visit at the team's facilities, general manager John Lynch confirmed on Monday.

Lynch also confirmed scheduled meetings with linebacker Josh Allen of Kentucky, defensive lineman Rashan Gary of Michigan, and defensive tackle Quinnen Williams of Alabama, which were all already known.


The 49ers also reportedly have a visit scheduled with former Arkansas linebacker Dre Greenlaw, which Lynch did not mention.

Bosa is the favorite to land with the 49ers, who own the No. 2 overall pick in next month's draft. He is the younger brother of Los Angeles Chargers defensive end Joey Bosa.

Bosa finished the 2018 season with four sacks through three games after recording 13.5 sacks in his previous two years. He underwent surgery due to a core muscle injury sustained during the Buckeye's third game of last season and announced on October 16, 2018, that he was leaving school to focus on preparing for the draft.

Bosa registered 77 combined tackles with 17.5 sacks in just over two seasons with the Buckeyes. He did not work out at Ohio State's pro day but met with both Lynch and VP of player personnel Adam Peters.

At the NFL Scouting Combine, the 6-foot-4 and 266-pound Bosa had a 40-time of 4.79 seconds, a vertical jump of 33.5 inches, a broad jump of 116 inches, completed the three-cone drill in 7.1 seconds, 29 reps in the bench press, and a 20-yard shuttle time of 4.14 seconds. Other measurables for Bosa include an arm length of 33 inches and hands that measure 10 3/4 inches.
