Ohio State center Luke Wypler selected by the Cleveland Browns in the 2023 NFL draft

Ohio State center, Luke Wypler, has realized his dream of being an NFL player. The Cleveland Browns selected the 6-foot, 3-inch, 300-pounder out of Montvale, New Jersey, in the sixth round of the 2023 NFL draft with the 190th pick.

He came to the Buckeyes as a four-star prospect and quickly took over the center position once it was up for grabs in 2021. Wypler started 26 consecutive games across that year and 2022. He earned third-team all-Big Ten Conference honors by the voting media this past season. He decided to leave school with two years of eligibility left.

He’ll get a chance to compete for the starting spot in the NFL with the Browns at a high-value position on the field that is a little underappreciated by many.

Ohio State has a history of churning out really good centers at the game’s highest level, and Wypler has a chance to add another chapter despite falling further on the draft board than most anticipated.
