Ohio State made college football history this year when it became the first team to win a national championship in the new 12-team playoff era. The Buckeyes followed that up with 14 players being selected in the 2025 NFL Draft.

Ohio State came within one of tying the all-time record set by Georgia in 2022 for the most players taken in a single draft (15). Like Ohio State, Georgia was also coming off a national championship win that season. 

The Buckeyes led all schools this year with four first-round picks, followed by Georgia, Michigan and Texas (three each). Ohio State has produced more first-rounders than any other college since the NFL Draft began in 1936.

Here's every Ohio State player who was selected in the 2025 NFL Draft:

• WR Emeka Egbuka (No. 19 by Tampa Bay Buccaneers)
• G Donovan Jackson (No. 24 by Minnesota Vikings)
• DT Tyleik Williams (No. 28 by Detroit Lions)
• OT Josh Simmons (No. 32 by Kansas City Chiefs)
• RB Quinshon Judkins (No. 36 by Cleveland Browns)
• RB TreVeyon Henderson (No. 38 by New England Patriots)
• DL JT Tuimoloau (No. 45 by Indianapolis Colts)
• LB Cody Simon (No. 155 by Arizona Cardinals)
• DB Lathan Ransom (No. 122 by Carolina Panthers)
• DE Jack Sawyer (No. 123 by Pittsburgh Steelers)
• DT Ty Hamilton (No. 148 by Los Angeles Rams)
• DB Jordan Hancock (No. 170 by Buffalo Bills)
• CB Denzel Burke (No. 174 by Cardinals)
• QB Will Howard (No. 185 by Steelers)

The two draft-eligible Buckeyes who weren't selected were C Seth McLaughlin and OT Josh Fryar.
