Potential No. 1 pick in the 2019 NFL Draft Nick Bosa sat down for an interview with Athlon and said that if you're lining up against Ohio State right tackle Isaiah Prince this season, you may be in for a day of reckoning.
“Probably the best offensive lineman is Isaiah, who I go against every day,” Bosa said when asked who he thought the toughest battle on the other side of the ball. “He's the best one overall, and everybody will find that out this year.”
The 6-foot-7, 310-pound Prince, who will enter his third season as the Buckeyes' starter on the right side, was likely the most-improved player on Urban Meyer's team as a junior last season, earning raves from folks who make it their business to study metrics like Pass Block Efficiency Rating:

All about the Prince hype train.
Bosa also had high praise for his position coach, Larry Johnson. When asked if there was a school he would have gone to had he not been able to attend Ohio State, the junior's response could be summed up as “not really.”
“I didn't really seriously consider any of them because Coach J was here,” he told Athlon. ”If Coach J wasn't here, I probably would have gone wherever he was at.”
The entire interview is well worth your time, so give it a read.
