Is Emeka Egbuka going to the NFL? Ohio State WR’s 2025 Draft projection explored

Emeka Egbuka is regarded as one of the finest wideouts on the college football circuit. The receiver is entering his senior year with Ohio State in the 2024 season, but there are still some doubts about whether he is going to the NFL next year.

As things stand, it's too early to tell whether Egbuka will declare for the 2025 NFL draft. The player is likely to decide whether he will go pro after the 2024 college football season.

Many analysts believe Egbuka could go as late in the first round or early in the second round in next year's NFL draft. However, his senior year with the Buckeyes will also impact his draft stock.

As per NFL Spin Zone's mock draft, the Jacksonville Jaguars could draft Egbuka with the No. 15 pick in the 2025 NFL draft. Here's a look at the player's measurements:

• Height: 6’1″
• Weight: 205 pounds
• Position: Wide Receiver
• School: Ohio State
• Current Year: Senior
