The Georgia Bulldogs’ record of 15 players selected in the 2022 NFL Draft has stood as an unbeatable juggernaut in recent years. However, with a star-studded roster and a national championship victory to their name, the Ohio State Buckeyes might be on their way to surpassing that milestone in the 2025 NFL Draft.
Ohio State Buckeyes Potentially en Route To Breaking Georgia Bulldogs’ Record
The 2025 NFL Draft buzz around Ohio State is fueled by the Buckeyes’ triumphant national championship campaign, where they defeated Notre Dame in the inaugural 12-team College Football Playoff. This victory was Ohio State’s first national title since 2014 and underscored the immense talent on their roster.
While the Buckeyes had a modest showing in the 2024 draft with just four selections –largely due to an unusual number of players opting to return for their senior seasons — they are now primed for a record-breaking year.
There are at least 15 players with draftable grades according to experts, including high-profile talents like Emeka Egbuka, JT Tuimoloau, Tyleik Williams, and Josh Simmons. Each of these players has not only contributed to the Buckeyes’ on-field success but has also showcased the X-factors that are often on the wanted list of NFL scouts.
Key Ohio State Draft Prospects With Shot at Glorious NFL Careers
Emeka Egbuka, WR
With nearly 2,900 career receiving yards, Egbuka has established himself as one of the most consistent and selfless players in college football. Known for his exceptional route running and game-changing athleticism, Egbuka has attracted attention from several NFL teams, including the Indianapolis Colts.
A strong showing in the Buckeyes’ national championship run only bolstered his first- or second-round draft stock.
Tyleik Williams, DT
Despite some questions about consistency, Williams’ potential is undeniable. Projected as a second-day pick by the experts, he has the tools to shine in the NFL, possibly landing with a team like the Green Bay Packers, who value his dynamic skill set.
Josh Simmons, OT
Offensive tackle Josh Simmons faced a season-ending injury in October, but his pre-injury dominance remains fresh in the minds of scouts.
If Simmons’ medical evaluations are favorable, he could still find himself drafted in Round 1. His technique and raw power make him a desirable asset with teams like the Chicago Bears, who can be a great home for Simmons.
