Fourteen former Ohio State players were selected in the 2025 NFL draft.
That number, which ranks second to Georgia's record of 15 in a single draft, includes the following Buckeyes:
- First-round selections Emeka Egbuka, Donovan Jackson, Tyleik Williams and Josh Simmons
- Second-round selections Quinshon Judkins, TreVeyon Henderson and JT Tuimoloau
- Fourth-round selections Cody Simon, Lathan Ransom and Jack Sawyer
- Fifth-round selections Ty Hamilton, Jordan Hancock and Denzel Burke
- Sixth-round selection Will Howard
In addition to Ohio State's 14 draftees, three Buckeyes signed as undrafted free agents: Seth McLaughlin, Josh Fryar and Gee Scott Jr.
Here are the best Ohio State social media reactions during the event in Green Bay:

— Joe DeLeone (@joedeleone) April 26, 2025
JT Tuimoloau Pick: Lou Anarumo type of edge rusher. Big bodied player with long arms and good against the run. Wins with power and finishes sacks. Good pairing with Laiatu Latu, who is more of a rush winner that struggles to finish sacks

By the end of this past season, he had put on elite tape at both guard AND left tackle.
An extremely dependable, selfless player. He's tough, rugged and athletic. Excellent football player.
