With the 2025 NFL Draft a day away, teams are beginning to finalize who they want to take and who may make their team better. For the Dallas Cowboys, they already have a connection with one of the top wide receivers in the entire draft class, Ohio State Buckeye Emeka Egbuka.
For a team like the Cowboys, drafting a wide receiver could be in their best interest, as they already have their franchise quarterback in Dak Prescott. Now, it’s all about building around their quarterback, and that includes adding a solid, young receiver like Egbuka. Let’s explore his connection to the Dallas football coaching staff.
Why Emeka Egbuka’s Dallas Cowboys Fit Is Gaining Buzz
There is very little question about what the Cowboys truly need when it comes to the 2025 NFL Draft, the answer is rather simple: wide receiver or running back. However, it’s getting their guy that can be the tough part.
With the top running back, Ashton Jeanty, likely off the board by the time the Cowboys make their first pick at No. 12 overall, the overwhelming consensus is that the Cowboys will indeed look for a receiver in Round 1 instead. Their target receiver, Egbuka, already has connections to the Dallas coaching staff.
Cowboys Head Coach Brian Schottenheimer mentioned how the former college coaches on staff will be able to apply knowledge they have from recruiting players in this draft class out of high school. One name that immediately came to mind was Ohio State’s receiver, Egbuka.
Wide Receiver coach Junior Adams recruited Egbuka in 2020 while he was 50 miles from his hometown of Steilacoom at Washington. Egbuka developed a great relationship with Adams, who had a lot of praise for him. “He’s awesome. I love talking to him. We stayed connected all four years I was in college.”
Adams also coached Egbuka’s high school receivers coach at Eastern Washington from 2009 to 2013. Despite not being the most popular receiver in this draft, being behind Matthew Golden and Tetairoa McMillan, Egbuka could certainly find his way to the Dallas football team.
