Pro Day Results – below

The National champion Ohio State Byuckeye’s held their Pro day on Wednesday for 17 pro prospects. Over 140 NFL personnel, including six coaches and five general managers, gathered inside the Woody Hayes Athletic Center for evaluations of 17 Ohio State draft prospects who hope to continue their football careers in the NFL. Several of the highly rated prospects stood on their NFL Combine results. A few players like LB Cody Simon, CB Jordan Hancock , DT Ty Hamilton, safety Lathan Ranson and OT Josh Fryar looked sharp in drills and put up impressive numbers.
QB Will Howard had a strong passing session where he went through throwing drills. He worked with teammate receiver Emeka Egbuka and put on a show for scouts. Egbuka is a first round bubble prospect at this point and a strong showing yesterday may guarantee a top selection. He also ran a 4.45 sprint with a fast 1.50 ten yard split. Howard improved his stock again. He displayed a powerful arm with tight delivery, accuracy and touch. He interviewed after the event with several teams. His impressive 2024 season when he directed the Buckeyes to the national title after losing to Michigan in the season finale left a strong impression on NFL personnel men.
Players like OT Josh Simmons and OL Seth McLaughlin did not workout – still in the rehab process from early 2024 knee injuries. Simmons did lift and pumped out 34 reps while guard Donovan Jackson did 32 reps. DT Ty Hamilton did the most at the event with 35 reps from the power defender. Fellow DT Tyleik Williams was a particpant who fell during his 40 yard sprint. He tripped at 20 yards of the event and was taken to the locker work. He returned to the field with a minor sprain but discontinued his workout.
