The College Football Playoff will feature plenty of top NFL talents, whether they are eligible or not. This is the talent level you expect to see in a game of caliber.
One of the top returning receivers from last season, Emeka Egbuka, did not disappoint in the 2024 season. Along with Carnell Tate and standout freshman Jeremiah Smith, Egbuka helped get the Buckeyes to the CFP national championship game despite not winning the Big Ten title. They knocked out the Oregon Ducks in the quarterfinals in dominating fashion to prove they are still the team to beat in the conference.
In his fourth season with the Buckeyes, Egbuka matched his career-high 10 touchdowns. He will have an opportunity to be the next Ohio State wideout to make an impact in the NFL.

Draft Projection: Round 1
Egbuka was viewed as WR2 for most of his Ohio State career playing next to players like Marvin Harrison Jr. This past season he came into the year as the leader of the team, and he lived up to the expectations. Now he can walk away a national champion provided they can take down the Irish, who haven’t lost a game since Week 2 of the season.
