How to watch Ohio State players in the 2025 NFL draft Friday: Time, TV channel, streaming
It was a banner day for the Ohio State football program on Thursday. There’s always a lot of Ohio State players littered throughout the NFL draft, but the Buckeyes led all programs with four players being selected on Day 1 of the draft. Emeka Egbuka (No. 19) went to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Donovan Jackson (No. 24) was selected by the Minnesota Vikings, Tyleik Williams (No. 28) heard his name called by the Detroit Lions, and Josh Simmons (No. 32) closed the night by being picked by the Kansas City Chiefs.
Now it’s time for rounds two and three on Day 2 of the draft, when we expect more Ohio State Buckeyes to see their names scroll across the bottom of the screen. If you were up to the task of watching on Thursday night, we’re guessing that you are looking to rinse and repeat the appointment for Friday night as we head into the weekend.
If so, we have everything you need to know to tune in and watch the next two rounds of the draft. Guys like TreVeyon Henderson, Quinshon Judkins, and J.T. Tuimoloau are prime candidates to go off the board on Friday, but there’s more than likely going to be more Scarlet and Gray coming through the screen.
Here’s everything you need to know to find and watch, listen to, or stream rounds two and three of the 2025 NFL draft.

A nighttime call about a break-in in small-town Ohio ended with four people dead, including a police sergeant and a 13-year-old girl. Authorities say officers arrived around 9:30pm Sunday in Rittman, about 20 miles west of Akron, and were immediately met with gunfire, the Canton Repository reports. Sgt. Scott Ries, a 10-year veteran of the Rittman Police Department and a former Wayne County deputy sheriff, was fatally shot while responding to what officials described as a disturbance call.
- Four other officers—three Medina County sheriff’s deputies and a Hinckley Police Department officer—were injured, the AP reports. Two were hospitalized in stable condition and two were treated at the scene. A Wayne County K-9, Vick, was badly injured.
The suspected shooter, 38-year-old Brandon Fazekas, died from a wound consistent with suicide, the coroner said. The Wayne County coroner identified the other victims as the suspect’s ex-partner and her daughter, WKYC reports. The coroner said 43-year-old Christine McWilliams and her 13-year-old daughter, McKinley, were both killed in what appear to be homicides. Rittman is a town of around 6,100 people on the border between Wayne and Medina counties.
The Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation is leading the probe. In a statement, the city of Rittman praised Reis, 54, for his “honor and courage” and “enduring commitment to protecting others.” “Our hearts are broken with this unimaginable loss,” the city said.

Pato O’Ward finally broke through for his first victory of the season at the Honda Indy 200, anchoring a historic day for Arrow McLaren at the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course.
Behind the wheel of the #5 Arrow McLaren Chevrolet, the 27-year-old secured his first podium of the year by winning. This victory was the team’s first-ever 1-2 finish in the IndyCar Series.
O’Ward entered the weekend with a remarkably consistent season, boasting six top-five finishes, but he had yet to crack the top three. That changed on Mid-Ohio’s 2.258-mile, 13-turn natural road course, where he put together a calm drive and controlled the field by leading 45 of the race’s 90 laps.
The decisive pass
The defining moment of the race occurred on Lap 42. O’Ward had been shadowing his teammate, Christian Lundgaard, all weekend as the duo virtually matched each other pace-for-pace. When Lundgaard made a costly slip in Turn 2, O’Ward didn’t hesitate.
“I was positioning myself to pounce on an opportunity whenever he would make a mistake,” O’Ward said. “So I was banking on that he was going to make one, and he did. That’s what ultimately gave me the opportunity, and I took full advantage of it. It’s always more fun to do it on track over a pit stop sequence or something.”

While O’Ward took care of business on the tarmac, he was quick to credit his crew for protecting the advantage after delivering flawless execution on Sunday.
“It’s great that the first podium of the year for me is a win,” O’Ward said. “We’ve had performances, and I think today was a textbook showing of execution. I want to give it to my guys in the pits; they were phenomenal. I know they’ve been working so hard because this year that has been a bit of a challenge, and I know they’re working so hard to give me the pit stops that they gave me today. I know they’ve been working hard for that.
“I really want to recognize that because they make or break my race. They truly allowed me to fight my way and keep my position today as we were fighting on track.
“Obviously the cars have been strong all weekend. It’s been a very strong weekend for all three cars. It was a matter of being perfect.”

The victory injects a massive dose of momentum into O’Ward’s championship campaign as the series heads into the final stretch. Through 11 of 18 rounds, he now sits fifth in the championship standings, 94 points behind leader Alex Palou (404–310).
With strong historical tracks on the horizon, O’Ward believes a late-season title charge is entirely realistic if the team maintains this elite level of form.
“If we keep having weekends like today, certainly so,” O’Ward said. “That would be fantastic. Obviously Nashville has been a great place for me and the team. Portland we’ve been very strong, as well. Markham, we’ve had the best street course results that we’ve had in quite some time this year. I’m excited for Markham. I’m excited for Washington. That one is going to be crazy. Milwaukee, we’ve won there before.
“There’s plenty of opportunities left. I’m not changing my approach. It’s going to be the same as it’s been all year. I didn’t really change it this weekend, either.”
