INDIANAPOLIS – A total of 10 prospects from Ohio State were in Indianapolis for this year's NFL Scouting Combine, with nine of them participating in on-field workouts.
The event began with weigh-ins, with Ohio State quarterback Dwayne Haskins measuring in at 6-foot-3 and 231 pounds – 11 pounds heavier than he was listed on Ohio State's roster last year – demonstrating that he has the prototypical size for an NFL signal-caller.
Offensive linemen Michael Jordan and Isaiah Prince and running back Mike Weber were the first Buckeyes to participate in the bench press on Thursday and the first Buckeyes to participate in on-field workouts on Friday. Jordan and Prince were the first to run the 40-yard dash, with Prince completing his 40 in 5.09 seconds (tied for 10th out of 38 offensive linemen) and Jordan completing his 40 in 5.27 seconds (tied for 30th among offensive linemen). Weber followed them up by running a 4.47-second 40, tied for the third-fastest time among all running backs.
Wide receivers Parris Campbell, Johnnie Dixon and Terry McLaurin participated in the bench press on Friday – McLaurin led the way among them with 18 repetitions of 225 pounds – and participated in on-field workouts, along with Haskins, on Saturday. Campbell got his on-field workout off to an excellent start on Saturday with a 40-inch vertical jump and an 11-foot-3 broad jump, then followed it up by running the 40-yard dash in an official time of 4.31 seconds, tying the fastest time ever run by a former Ohio State player and tying him for the fastest time run by any wide receiver at this year's combine.
Campbell also tied for the fastest time in the 20-yard shuttle (4.03 seconds).
McLaurin completed the 40 in 4.35 seconds, the fifth-fastest time among all receivers, while Dixon completed his run in 4.41 seconds, eighth-fastest among all receivers. Haskins completed the 40-yard dash in 5.04 seconds, but was battling leg cramps, according to a report by NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
Potential No. 1 overall pick Nick Bosa opened his combine workout in the bench press on Saturday, putting up 29 repetitions of 225 pounds – an excellent number for a defensive end with 33-inch arms – and began his on-field workout Sunday by running the 40 in an official time of 4.79 seconds, seven hundredths of a second faster than his older brother Joey ran in 2016. He had a 10-yard split of 1.55 seconds, tied for third-fastest among all defensive linemen, according to NFL Network's Daniel Jeremiah. Bosa also had the third-fastest time among defensive linemen in the 20-yard shuttle, completing that drill in 4.14 seconds.
Fellow Ohio State offensive lineman Dre'Mont Jones, who did not participate in the bench press, ran the 40 in an official time of 5.12 seconds, tied for 12th among defensive tackles.
Ohio State cornerback Kendall Sheffield was scheduled to be the final Buckeye to participate in on-field workouts on Monday, but he suffered a pectoral injury during the bench press on Sunday, ending his combine early.
