The NFL draft is here. Three Ohio State players − running backs Quinshon Judkins and TreVeyon Henderson and defensive end J.T. Tuimoloau − were taken in the second round of the NFL Draft on April 25 after four Buckeyes were taken in the first round a day earlier.

Jordan Hancock, a versatile piece in Ohio State’s secondary in recent seasons, was drafted by the Buffalo Bills in the fifth round of the NFL draft on April 26. Buffalo used the No. 170 overall selection to nab Hancock, who had been the Buckeyes ’ starting nickelback since 2023.

The first round of the 2025 NFL Draft was dominated by power conference schools, as the SEC and Big Ten were ubiquitous during Thursday night's action with 26 of the first 32 picks coming from the two most powerful conferences in the sport.
