Ohio State could achieve rare NFL draft milestone on Thursday night

Ohio State has remained one of the nation’s top football programs under coach Ryan Day.

However, what happens during the first round of Thursday’s NFL draft could put the Buckeyes in a group only two other schools have joined.

If the mock drafts hold up, Ohio State would be the first school in 59 years to have four players selected in the top 10.

Michigan State was the most recent to do it in 1967, with Notre Dame the first in 1946.

There have been 12 instances of three players from one school going in the top 10, with the most recent being Alabama in 2021.

Edge rusher/linebacker Arvell Reese could be the first defensive player off the board, followed by safety Caleb Downs, wide receiver Carnell Tate, and linebacker Sonny Styles.
