Four juniors from Ohio State’s 2025 roster have already announced their NFL draft decisions, but the most intriguing decisions are still to come.
Losing Caleb Downs, Carnell Tate and Arvell Reese hurts, as they were three of Ohio State’s biggest stars this past season, but it would have come as a shock if any of them didn’t enter the 2026 NFL draft. All three of them are projected as early first-round picks, so they had little to gain from a draft stock perspective by staying in Columbus for their senior years.
Ohio State is certainly happy to have Brandon Inniss back for his senior season, as he’ll provide crucial experience and leadership in the wide receiver room alongside Jeremiah Smith, but it would have been equally shocking if he had left early for the NFL draft.
