Ohio State ended the 2026 NFL Draft with 11 selections, the program’s fourth-largest class since the league reduced the number of rounds to seven in 1994.
It was the second straight year that the Buckeyes had double-digit picks. Their 14 last April tied the program record.

Ryan Day said he wanted to “make sure” that Ohio State held a traditional spring game.
“We have more players than we’ve ever had this spring, so it was great to see some of those guys get out there and see how they respond.”

Ryan Day mentioned tight ends Hunter Welcing and Mason Williams and cornerback Earl Little Jr. as players who have been consistent through three-plus weeks of spring practice.
All three transferred to Ohio State earlier this offseason from other schools.

Ryan Day said he’s kept an open mind to ideas from new offensive coordinator Arthur Smith during Ohio State’s early weeks of spring practice.
“It’s been good for our offensive staff to see a different way to approach things,” Day said, “but also not losing our identity.”
Smith joined the Buckeyes in January after nearly a decade in the NFL, most recently as the offensive coordinator for the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Ohio State’s spending on assistant football coach salaries has climbed under Ryan Day.
Not adjusting for inflation, the annual payroll for coordinators and position coaches has more than doubled over the length of his tenure, which began in 2019 with his promotion to replace Urban Meyer.
