Apologies for any confusion earlier. As of now, there are no specific reports indicating that the Tennessee Titans are showing interest in a three-year Ohio State starter for the upcoming 2025 NFL Draft. However, considering the Titans’ roster needs and the Buckeyes’ talent pool, it’s plausible to explore potential fits.
Tennessee Titans’ Roster Needs
The Titans have several positions to address:
- Wide Receiver: With Calvin Ridley as the primary impact receiver under contract for 2025, the Titans are seeking additional playmakers. Sporting News’ Vinnie Iyer predicts that the Titans might draft Arizona wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan with the No. 3 overall pick to complement Ridley.
- Offensive Line: Protecting quarterback Will Levis remains a priority, necessitating bolstering the offensive line.
- Running Back: With Derrick Henry’s tenure nearing its end, identifying a successor is essential.
Ohio State Prospects
Ohio State consistently produces NFL-caliber talent. While specific links between the Titans and Buckeye players are unreported, several prospects could align with Tennessee’s needs:
- Emeka Egbuka, Wide Receiver: Egbuka declared for the 2025 NFL Draft after a stellar college career, amassing 205 receptions for 2,868 yards and 24 touchdowns. Bleacher Report ranks him as the No. 3 wide receiver prospect.
- Josh Simmons, Offensive Tackle: Simmons is projected as a first-round pick, with NFL Network’s Daniel Jeremiah predicting him at No. 29 to the Washington Commanders.
- Quinshon Judkins, Running Back: After transferring from Ole Miss, Judkins helped lead the Buckeyes to a national title and declared for the draft. He surpassed 1,000 rushing yards in each of his three collegiate seasons.
