Another first round draft pick about to show out in the Natty tonight.
His family story is really impressive. Their strive for everyday excellence is truly inspiring and I hope the rest of his life gives him the kind of joy he's brought to Buckeye fans by representing the way he has.

Emeka Egbuka has cemented his legacy as one of the most productive receivers in Ohio State history.
With a 24-yard catch in the fourth quarter against Notre Dame, Egbuka collected his second career 1,000-yard receiving season, joining former teammate Marvin Harrison Jr. as the only Buckeyes ever to do so. He fumbled at the end of the play but Ohio State still won the national championship 34-23.
Egbuka set Ohio State's career receptions record earlier in the College Football Playoff national championship game. He closed his Buckeye career strong with six receptions for 64 yards against the Fighting Irish. He led Ohio State in catches on Monday, edging Jeremiah Smith by one reception.
Egbuka finished his final campaign with 81 receptions — a career-high — for 1,011 yards and 10 touchdowns. He and Jeremiah Smith were the third pair of 1,000-yard receivers on the same squad in team history, joining Garrett Wilson and Jaxon Smith-Njigba in 2021 and Egbuka and Harrison in 2022.
The Washington native had his biggest season playing alongside Harrison in 2022, when Egbuka recorded 74 receptions for 1,151 yards and 10 touchdowns. Injuries limited his production in 2023, when he had 41 catches for 515 yards and four scores. He closed his Ohio State career with 205 receptions for 2,868 yards and 24 touchdowns.
Now he's etched his name into Ohio State's record books and claimed a national title.
