Ohio State Buckeyes Gearing Up For a Monumental Day in Columbus

Winning a national championship comes with its fair share of perks. One of those for the 2024 Ohio State Buckeyes is that they are going to have at least 15 draft picks in the 2025 NFL Draft.

On Wednesday, the eyes of the NFL will descend upon the Woody Hayes Athletic Center as all of the future NFL players from the Buckeyes will get their opportunity to work out in front of every single NFL organization during Ohio State’s Pro Day.

Players tend to utilize their pro days as their opportunity to showcase their athletic abilities for scouts to see. That used to be reserved for the NFL Combine, but now since every program can host a workout, they all do it to keep their players in familiar environments, giving them the best opportunity to succeed.

Wednesday, everyone will have their best on display.

Will Howard was one of the headliners from the NFL Combine in February because he had a very negative performance in Indianapolis. He decided to go through a full workout and while he tested well, he did not throw the football well in the open throwing session.

All eyes will be on him as he will have his guys running his routes in his environment. Those things are critically important on this big stage.
