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.
