Two of Ohio State’s five scholarship quarterbacks will participate in the program's pro day on Wednesday.
Ohio State head coach Ryan Day said on Tuesday that Will Howard and Devin Brown will throw passes at the event. Howard and Brown’s pass-catchers will include wide receiver Xavier Johnson and tight end Cade Stover. Wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. is not expected to work out after also skipping combine workouts while running back Miyan Williams is unable to work out as he recovers from a knee surgery.
With 37 days until the NFL draft, Ohio State’s pro day will be the final opportunity for several Buckeyes to showcase their talent to NFL executives and scouts. Along with Johnson and Stover, offensive lineman Matt Jones, defensive tackle Mike Hall, linebackers Tommy Eichenberg and Steele Chambers and safety Josh Proctor are expected to participate.
The event will also provide an excellent chance for Howard and Brown to show off their talent. Following the 2023 season, Howard considered entering the NFL draft but instead chose to transfer to Ohio State for his final year of eligibility. Meanwhile, Brown returned to Columbus for his third year with the Buckeyes. He will have two years of eligibility remaining after 2024.
Ohio State’s pro day will begin at 11:30 a.m. on Wednesday. The Buckeyes will start exercises in the weight room around noon and on-field drills around 1 p.m.
