Buckeyes Stack 2026 NFL Draft: 11 Selections, Four Top-11 Picks Set Records
Ohio State dominated the 2026 NFL Draft with 11 selections—the most of any school for the second straight year—giving the Buckeyes 25 picks over the 2025–2026 span, a school record. Four Buckeyes went in the top 11, the most top-11 picks by any school, and seven players were chosen in the first two rounds, a back-to-back milestone that also places OSU alongside Alabama for the most such picks in three drafts. Notable firsts include Arvell Reese and Sonny Styles becoming the first pair of linebackers from the same school drafted in the top 10, and OSU placing two tight ends in the same draft (Max Klare and Will Kacmarek). OSU’s defensive-back legacy continues, with the program approaching 100 all-time first-round picks as it eyes 2027.
