Sources: WR Tate leaving Buckeyes for NFL draft
Ohio State wide receiver Carnell Tate is leaving school early and declaring for the NFL draft, sources told ESPN on Tuesday.
Tate is projected as a top-10 pick in ESPN analyst Mel Kiper’s current rankings, the latest in a gilded line of high-end Buckeye receivers. Tate caught 51 passes for 875 yards and nine touchdowns for Ohio State this year.
He did that in 11 games, as he missed three games because of injury. He flashed dominance throughout the year, as he had 183 yards receiving against Minnesota, five catches for 82 yards and a touchdown against Michigan, and 124 yards and a touchdown against Penn State.
Tate, who is 6-foot-3, 195 pounds, finishes his three-year career with 1,872 yards receiving and 14 touchdowns. In a program filled with the sport’s top wide receiver prospects, he played in 13 games as a true freshman and flashed star power as a sophomore with 52 catches for 733 yards on Ohio State’s national title winning team.
Tate’s sophomore year included seven catches against Texas for 87 yards in the College Football Playoff semifinals.
He projects as the latest OSU first-round receiver; over the past four years, there have been five first-rounders. Ohio State’s run includes both Garrett Wilson and Chris Olave in 2022, Jaxon Smith-Njigba in 2023, Marvin Harrison Jr. in 2024 and Emeka Egbuka last year.
Last year, OSU was the first team in the common draft era to have wide receivers picked in the first round in four straight years. Tate projects to extend that unprecedented run.
A veteran NFL scout summed up Tate to ESPN this way: “He’s very smooth, fast and a good athlete. He has good hands and ball skills, as he reminds me of Pro Bowl receiver Chris Chambers, but a taller version, coming out of college.”
Young is a four-time all-star guard who has been the face of the franchise in Atlanta since he entered the league in 2018.

Three suspects have been arrested in connection with a burglary that took place at the home of Cleveland Browns quarterback Shedeur Sanders in November, the Medina County (Ohio) Sheriff’s Office said Wednesday.
The three individuals who allegedly broke into Sanders’ home Nov. 16, as well as the driver of the vehicle involved, have been identified, the sheriff’s office said in a news release. The fourth suspect is at large with an active warrant for his arrest, according to the release, which also stated that the investigation has been completed.
The sheriff’s office said approximately $200,000 in property was stolen from Sanders’ home in Granger Township, a Cleveland suburb, during the break-in, which occurred while he was making his NFL debut in a Week 11 game against the visiting Baltimore Ravens.
Sanders, the 144th pick in the 2025 NFL draft, just completed his first season in the NFL. A son of Pro Football Hall of Famer and current Colorado coach Deion Sanders, Shedeur started the final seven games of the season for the Browns and completed 56.6% of his passes for 1,400 yards with seven touchdowns and 10 interceptions.

“For the first day, I was definitely really nervous. I think the nerves just got to me,” she said. “When I went out there today, I felt very calm and peaceful, to be honest with you. That’s why I played better.
“I did everything I could possibly have done for this tournament. So, I think if you prepare right, the nerves can … they’re always going to be there, right? They can be a little softened. So, I would just say that.”
Trump’s performance earned the praise of women’s golf star Charley Hull, a supporter of the president.

“That’s really good considering this is not just an easy LPGA event. This is probably one of the harder courses that we play on,” Hull said of Trump, per Golf Channel.
“So, for her to come out, she had to be so nervous. It was her first LPGA event. I remember my first event. I was really nervous, and she’s got a lot of pressure on her and a lot of eyes on her.”
