Some programs win titles. Some programs send players to the NFL. Ohio State does both, and does so at a level unmatched by almost anyone else in college football. The Buckeyes tied a program record in the 2025 NFL Draft with 14 players selected, and by the time rosters were finalized, 58 former Buckeyes had secured spots across the league.
Now, just two weeks into the new season, the impact is undeniable. Ohio State alumni lead all colleges in total scrimmage yards and touchdowns at the professional level, according to new data from Deeg Sports. The numbers jump off the page:
1,327 scrimmage yards
11 total touchdowns
Far ahead of Alabama (1,185 yards) and Georgia (883 yards). The recent study has basically validated what we have been witnessing in the field. Thanks to our wide receiver
