Ohio State wide receiver Emeka Egbuka, who was rated as a top-10 national prep recruit coming out of Washington state, enters the 2025 NFL Draft as one of the more interesting Day 2 buys at the position.
He made a dent on special teams as a true freshman for the Buckeyes before bursting onto the scene in 2022 with more than 1,200 total yards and a dozen scores.
Life wasn’t as kind on Egbuka as a junior. An ankle injury cost him three games, and his healthy production wasn’t exactly impressive as the offense turned to Kyle McCord after C.J. Stroud left for the pros. Will Howard stepped in as the starter in 2024, and a healthy Egbuka once again thrived with competent quarterback play, showing reliance and proving he wasn’t just a one-year wonder.
