Ohio State’s historically deep 2025 draft class will be in the spotlight at this week’s NFL Scouting Combine.
15 members of Ohio State’s national championship team are in Indianapolis for the combine – the most players from any school – and all 15 of them are expected to be drafted, which would tie Georgia’s record for the most picks from one school in a seven-round NFL draft.
With media interviews at the NFL Scouting Combine starting today and on-field workouts commencing at Lucas Oil Stadium tomorrow, we take a look at Ohio State’s loaded NFL draft class on this week’s episode of Real Pod Wednesdays.
We start the show by sharing some overall thoughts on Ohio State’s draft class, which Buckeyes boosted their NFL draft stock the most during the College Football Playoff, which Buckeyes we expect to be combine stars and which Buckeyes would benefit most from a strong combine workout.
Then, we put our GM hats on and conduct our own draft of Ohio State’s draft prospects, with each of us making seven rounds’ worth of picks of which Buckeyes we’d draft if we were calling the shots for an NFL team.
The full results of our draft:
| Pick | GM | Player |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Dan | DE Jack Sawyer |
| 2 | Andy | OT Josh Simmons |
| 3 | Andy | WR Emeka Egbuka |
| 4 | Dan | G/T Donovan Jackson |
| 5 | Dan | RB TreVeyon Henderson |
| 6 | Andy | DE JT Tuimoloau |
| 7 | Andy | DT Tyleik Williams |
| 8 | Dan | QB Will Howard |
| 9 | Dan | CB Denzel Burke |
| 10 | Andy | CB Jordan Hancock |
| 11 | Andy | S Lathan Ransom |
| 12 | Dan | RB Quinshon Judkins |
| 13 | Dan | C Seth McLaughlin |
| 14 | Andy | DT Ty Hamilton |
