The Call: Go Inside Every Ohio State NFL Draft Pick’s Moment

11W Staff — Sunday, April 26, 2026 - 13:35

The picks get announced on TV. The highlights get clipped and looped. And then the fans and pundits go to work, with takes ranging from genuinely insightful to outright nonsense.

But the moment that actually matters? It’s the call.

For every player taken in the NFL Draft, there’s a phone that rings, sometimes backstage in the green room, other times in a crowded living room, and everything they’ve worked for gets delivered in a few words on the other end. They’re raw, they’re emotional, and they’re about as real as it gets in a weekend that sometimes feels anything but.

Ohio State had 11 players hear their name called this weekend. Here’s what it looked like the call came in.

There’s a lot that goes into getting drafted: years of work, a few well-timed breaks, and a process that can test just about anyone’s patience.

But it all comes down to that phone call.

For these Buckeyes, that call came this weekend, and with it, the start of whatever comes next.

New Orleans Saints Sign Ohio State Defensive Tackle Tywone Malone Jr. As Undrafted Free Agent

Andy Anders — Sunday, April 26, 2026 - 10:02

Another Buckeye is going to New Orleans.

The Saints signed former Ohio State defensive tackle Tywone Malone Jr. as an undrafted free agent on Sunday after he went unselected in the 2026 NFL draft.

Malone is the third member of the 2025 Buckeyes to become a Saint, joining fifth-round pick Lorenzo Styles Jr. and fellow undrafted free agent CJ Donaldson. They join a roster that already included three former Ohio State players: Chris Olave, Pete Werner and Chase Young.

Ohio State's 2026 NFL Draft Picks

Carnell Tate: Round 1, No. 4, Tennessee Titans
Arvell Reese: Round 1, No. 5, New York Giants
Sonny Styles: Round 1, No. 7, Washington Commanders
Caleb Downs: Round 1, No. 11, Dallas Cowboys
Kayden McDonald: Round 2, No. 36, Houston Texans
Max Klare: Round 2, No. 61, Los Angeles Rams
Davison Igbinosun: Round 2, No. 62, Buffalo Bills
Will Kacmarek: Round 3, No. 87, Miami Dolphins
Lorenzo Styles Jr.: Round 5, No. 172, New Orleans Saints
Caden Curry: Round 6, No. 214, Indianapolis Colts
Ethan Onianwa: Round 7, No. 231, Atlanta Falcons

Malone heads to New Orleans after two years at Ole Miss, where he split time between football and baseball, and three seasons at Ohio State. It took three years for him to acclimate at Ohio State with his full focus on football, but three weeks into his redshirt senior season, he took over as the Buckeyes' starting three-technique defensive tackle.

Malone finished his final season with 26 tackles and two pass breakups. He'll need to increase his disruption to earn an NFL roster spot, however, after recording no tackles for loss in 2025.

Malone holds the rare distinction of winning a national championship in two different college sports, winning an NCAA baseball title at Ole Miss in 2022 and a football title with Ohio State as a backup defensive tackle in 2024.

The Buckeyes saw 11 players selected in the 2026 NFL draft, including four first-round selections and seven combined in the first two rounds: Carnell Tate (No. 4 overall, Titans), Arvell Reese (No. 5 overall, Giants), Sonny Styles (No. 7 overall, Commanders), Caleb Downs (No. 11 overall, Cowboys), Kayden McDonald (No. 36 overall, Texans), Max Klare (No. 61 overall, Rams), Davison Igbinosun (No. 62 overall, Bills), Will Kacmarek (No. 87 overall, Dolphins), Lorenzo Styles Jr. (No. 172 overall, Saints), Caden Curry (No. 214 overall, Colts) and Ethan Onianwa (No. 231 overall, Falcons). McDonald, Malone's running mate at defensive tackle when he started for Ohio State in 2025, became the third defensive tackle drafted from Columbus in the past two years, joining Tyleik Williams (Round 1, No. 28 overall, Lions) and Ty Hamilton (Round 5, No. 148, Rams) from the 2025 NFL draft.

Ohio State’s 2026 NFL Draft By the Numbers: Buckeyes Lead All Schools in Draft Picks for Second Straight Year

Dan Hope — Sunday, April 26, 2026 - 08:35

Ohio State dominated the NFL draft again in 2026.

Ohio State had the most selections of any school for the second year in a row as 11 total Buckeyes were drafted. After tying the school record with 14 total selections in the 2025 NFL draft, Ohio State tied the two-year record for any school with 25 picks across two years.

Just like in 2025, Ohio State had four first-round picks, three second-round picks and double-digit draft selections overall.

All of Ohio State’s four first-round picks, the most of any school, came in the first 11 picks of the draft – only the third time a school has ever had four of the top 11 selections in an NFL draft. Carnell Tate (No. 4 overall, Titans), Arvell Reese (No. 5, Giants), Sonny Styles (No. 7, Commanders) and Caleb Downs (No. 11, Cowboys) were the first quartet of players from the same school to be selected in the top 11 picks of the same NFL draft since Michigan State’s Bubba Smith, Clint Jones, George Webster and Gene Washington all went in the top eight picks of the 1967 NFL draft.

Schools With Four Top-11 Picks in One NFL Draft
Year	School	Picks
1946	Notre Dame	Frank Dancewicz (1), Johnny Lujack (4), George Connor (5), Emil Sitko (10)
1967	Michigan State	Bubba Smith (1), Clint Jones (2), George Webster (5), Gene Washington (8)
2026	Ohio State	Carnell Tate (4), Arvell Reese (5), Sonny Styles (7), Caleb Downs (11)

Ohio State also led all schools with seven picks in the first two rounds, becoming the second school ever (along with Alabama) to have seven first- or second-round picks in back-to-back drafts. Ohio State also joined Alabama as the second school ever to have seven first- or second-round picks in three separate drafts; no other school has ever had more than one.

Schools With 7+ Players Drafted in First Two Rounds
SCHOOL	YEAR(S)
OHIO STATE	2026 (7), 2025 (7), 2016 (7)
GEORGIA	2022 (7)
ALABAMA	2021 (8), 2020 (7), 2017 (7)
LSU	2020 (7)
USC	2008 (7)
TENNESSEE	2000 (7)

The Buckeyes topped Alabama and Texas A&M, who each had 10 picks, for the most picks of any school in this year’s draft.

With 25 total picks over the last two years, Ohio State broke its school record for the most selections in a two-year span, previously set at 24 in 1975 and 1976. It’s the third time Ohio State has had double-digit selections in back-to-back drafts, as Ohio State had exactly 10 selections in the 2020 and 2021 NFL drafts.

2025	14
2004	14
1975	13
1971	13
2016	12
2026	11
1976	11

2020	10

Notable Firsts

Arvell Reese and Sonny Styles are the first-ever pair of linebackers from the same school to both be selected in the first 10 picks of the same NFL draft.
Ohio State became the first school ever with three defensive players selected in the first 11 picks of an NFL draft (Reese, Styles and Caleb Downs).
Max Klare and Will Kacmarek are the first pair of tight ends from Ohio State to be selected in the same NFL draft. Ohio State was the first school to have two tight ends selected in the same NFL draft since Iowa’s T.J. Hockenson and Noah Fant were both first-round picks in 2019.

Numbers to Know

4

Ohio State’s drafts with 10 or more draft picks under Ryan Day.

5

Ohio State’s drafts with four or more first-round picks (1971, 2006, 2016, 2025, 2026). Alabama (six) is the only school with more.

6

Ohio State wide receivers selected in the first round of the last five NFL drafts (Garrett Wilson and Chris Olave in 2022, Jaxon Smith-Njigba in 2023, Marvin Harrison Jr. in 2024, Emeka Egbuka in 2025 and Carnell Tate in 2026). No other school has had more than three first-round wide receivers (USC) in that span.

14

The number of times Ohio State has had the most first-round picks of any school. No other school has had the most first-round picks more than 12 times (Alabama, Notre Dame and USC).

15

Defensive players drafted from Ohio State over the past two years, tying Alabama (2017-18) for the most ever from one school in a two-year span. All eight starters from Ohio State’s 2024 defense that entered the 2025 NFL draft were selected last year. Seven of the eight starters from Ohio State’s 2025 defense that entered the 2026 NFL draft were selected; defensive tackle Tywone Malone Jr. was the only one who went undrafted.

18

Ohio State’s total of first-round picks through seven NFL drafts following seasons in which Ryan Day was Ohio State’s head coach. By comparison, Urban Meyer and Jim Tressel each had 14 first-round picks in their Ohio State tenures (seven years for Meyer, 10 years for Tressel).

28

Ohio State’s total of first- and second-round picks – the standard Day says he wants all Ohio State recruits to aspire to – in Day’s first seven drafts as Ohio State’s head coach. Meyer had 24 first- and second-round picks in his seven drafts as Ohio State’s head coach; Jim Tressel had 19 for his entire 10-year tenure as Ohio State’s head coach.

Ryan Day wants Ohio State recruits to expect to be first- or second-round NFL draft picks.

We expect to win every game. Does it always happen? No. Does everybody become a first or second rounder? No. But the mindset is that way, and that's been here for a long time. pic.twitter.com/gYrDjVIKcn
— Eleven Warriors (@11W) April 24, 2026

58

The number of consecutive drafts, dating back to Michigan State in 1967, in which no school had four of the draft’s top 11 picks until Ohio State accomplished the feat this year.

70

The all-time total of defensive backs drafted from Ohio State following the selections of Caleb Downs, Davison Igbinosun and Lorenzo Styles Jr. Ohio State has had more defensive backs drafted than any other school and more defensive backs drafted than any other position.

99

Ohio State’s all-time total of first-round picks, the most of any school, positioning Jeremiah Smith or Julian Sayin to become Ohio State’s 100th all-time first-round pick in the 2027 NFL draft.

Ohio State Running Back CJ Donaldson Joining New Orleans Saints As Undrafted Free Agent

Andy Anders — Saturday, April 25, 2026 - 21:56

CJ Donaldson wasn’t selected in the 2026 NFL draft, but he'll still get his opportunity to make an NFL roster this fall.

After going undrafted in the 2026 NFL draft, the former Ohio State running back is joining the New Orleans Saints as an undrafted free agent, according to posts he shared on his Instagram account.

Ohio State's 2026 NFL Draft Picks

Carnell Tate: Round 1, No. 4, Tennessee Titans
Arvell Reese: Round 1, No. 5, New York Giants
Sonny Styles: Round 1, No. 7, Washington Commanders
Caleb Downs: Round 1, No. 11, Dallas Cowboys
Kayden McDonald: Round 2, No. 36, Houston Texans
Max Klare: Round 2, No. 61, Los Angeles Rams
Davison Igbinosun: Round 2, No. 62, Buffalo Bills
Will Kacmarek: Round 3, No. 87, Miami Dolphins
Lorenzo Styles Jr.: Round 5, No. 172, New Orleans Saints
Caden Curry: Round 6, No. 214, Indianapolis Colts
Ethan Onianwa: Round 7, No. 231, Atlanta Falcons

Recruited as a tight end to West Virginia out of high school in 2022, Donaldson moved to running back in his freshman year with the Mountaineers. He emerged as their starter in his sophomore year, and over the next two seasons, he recorded a combined 1,532 rushing yards and 22 touchdowns. He averaged 4.6 yards per carry those two seasons.

Donaldson transferred to Ohio State ahead of his senior year in 2025 and filled a role as the Buckeyes' short-yardage back with some other rotational opportunities. He finished the season with 96 carries for 361 yards (3.8 yards per carry) and 10 touchdowns, adding 15 receptions for 96 yards. He’ll now look to parlay his ability as a short-yardage back and in pass protection into a roster spot in New Orleans, where he joins a running back depth chart led by Travis Etienne and Alvin Kamara.

Ohio State saw 11 players selected in the 2026 NFL draft, including four first-round selections and seven combined in the first two rounds: Carnell Tate (No. 4 overall, Titans), Arvell Reese (No. 5 overall, Giants), Sonny Styles (No. 7 overall, Commanders), Caleb Downs (No. 11 overall, Cowboys), Kayden McDonald (No. 36 overall, Texans), Max Klare (No. 61 overall, Rams), Davison Igbinosun (No. 62 overall, Bills), Will Kacmarek (No. 87 overall, Dolphins), Lorenzo Styles Jr. (No. 172 overall, Saints), Caden Curry (No. 214 overall, Colts) and Ethan Onianwa (No. 231 overall, Falcons).

Donaldson becomes the fifth Buckeye on the Saints’ current roster, joining fellow rookie Lorenzo Styles Jr. as well as Chris Olave, Pete Werner and Chase Young.

Ohio State Wins Penn Relays 4x100 for First Time Since 1932, Adds 4x400 Title in Sprint Sweep

11W Staff — Saturday, April 25, 2026 - 19:43

There are good days at the track, and then there's making history.

Ohio State captured the College Men’s 4x100 Championship of America on Saturday, marking the program’s first Penn Relays title in the event since 1932, finishing in 39.56.

THE OHIO STATE IS WHO.

The Buckeyes win their first Penn Relays wheel in the 4x100m since 1932 (Before they had Jesse Owens). They run 39.56 in cool conditions as both South Florida and Clemson DNF.

Watch the #PennRelays LIVE on FloTrack with coverage presented by @On pic.twitter.com/DoFEVryC5V
— FloTrack (@FloTrack) April 25, 2026

Let’s just say it had been a minute.

The winning quartet of Nazzio John, Kyler Brown, Nick Biega and Braxton Brann delivered the breakthrough performance in cool conditions, snapping a drought that dates back to before Jesse Owens ever ran in Columbus.

That alone would’ve been a headline. Instead, Ohio State followed it up with another one.

The Buckeyes came back later in the day and won the College Men’s 4x400 Championship of America, with Edidiong Udo, Noah Carmichael, Mason Louis and Brann crossing the line in 3:05.85.

Ohio State edged Texas A&M at the line in a photo finish, taking the title by a razor-thin margin to complete a sweep of the meet’s two marquee sprint relays.

That’ll definitely play.

Between snapping a 90-plus-year drought in the 4x100 and winning a tightly contested 4x400, it’s one of the more notable Penn Relays performances in program history and a statement showing for a sprint group that continues to build momentum as the outdoor season heats up.
