List at 6 toothes, 200 pounds, Bonner plays open receiver and defensive wing in Mullen High School, but his impressive size is a great reason why he is being recruited as a closed wing.

He has collected 18 more offers from the schools of Division I at the time since then and made another unofficial visit to Minnesota on February 1.
