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.

It’s the same deal as Thursday night. You can watch or stream on several channels and outlets, so pick your favorite and settle in to see if you can predict what’s going to happen with some of the Ohio State players still out there.
What time does the NFL draft start Friday?
- Date: Thursday, April 24

Same place but an hour earlier because there are more selections being made. You already made an appointment for last night, and you have to admit the scene was pretty remarkable in and around one of the most iconic stadiums and settings in the sport. Why not try to replicate the party atmosphere on Friday?
