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.

What channel is the NFL draft on Friday? How to watch, stream

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
• Time: 7 p.m. ET
• Location: Lambeau Field (Green Bay, Wisconsin)

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?

Who is calling the shots for the NFL draft on each platform?

• ESPN: Mike Greenberg (host), Mel Kiper Jr. (NFL draft analyst), Booger McFarland (analyst), Louis Riddick (analyst), Adam Schefter (insider) and Molly McGrath (reporter)

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Ohio State has a host of NFL draft prospects awaiting to hear their names called in the 2025.

And, the Buckeyes are hopeful to break the NFL Draft record for selections from one college team in a single draft.

Fifteen players were invited to the NFL Combine in February, including: Quarterback Will Howard, running backs TreVeyon Henderson and Quinshon Judkins, receiver Emeka Egbuka, offensive linemen Donovan Jackson, Josh Simmons and Seth McLaughlin, defensive ends Jack Sawyer and J.T. Tuimoloau, defensive tackles Ty Hamilton and Tyleik Williams, linebacker Cody Simon, cornerbacks Jordan Hancock and Denzel Burke and safety Lathan Ransom.

Tight end Gee Scott and offensive lineman Josh Fryar are also hoping to hear a call from an NFL team.

Here is where Ohio State’s prospects were drafted and signed:

First round

Second round

Third round

Fourth round

Fifth round

Sixth round

Seventh round

Undrafted free agent signings

North Carolina transfer defensive end Beau Atkinson announced his commitment to Ohio State Tuesday night.

Atkinson, a disruptive, 6-foot-6, 265-pound edge rusher, led the Tar Heels in sacks during a breakout 2024 campaign and entered the transfer portal last week after completing spring practices under first-year coach Bill Belichick. The top available player in ESPN’s spring transfer portal rankings, Atkinson joins the defending national champion Buckeyes with two years of eligibility remaining.

Atkinson became a rotational contributor at North Carolina 2023 before emerging as one of the ACC’s top pass rushers as a redshirt sophomore in 2024. A former three-star recruit from Raleigh, North Carolina, he paced all Tar Heels defenders with 7.5 sacks, 12 tackles for loss and 25 pressures a year ago, finishing as the ACC’s sixth-leading sack-getter in 13 games.

In Atkinson, Ohio State adds proven playmaking potential and much-needed experience to a new-look defensive line unit in 2025. The Buckeyes will open their title defense in the fall under new defensive leadership with first-year defensive Matt Patricia, the former Detroit Lions head coach and longtime NFL assistant who arrived in February after Jim Knowles’ departure for Penn State.

Gone from Ohio State’s defensive line in 2025 are four starters — J.T. Tuimoloau, Jack Sawyer, Ty Hamilton and Tyleik Williams — from a unit that finished second nationally with 53 sacks last fall. Atkinson immediately steps in as a contender for first-team snaps within a Buckeyes edge unit that returns underclassmen Caden Curry, Kenyatta Jackson Jr., C.J. Hicks and Joshua Mickens, a group of 2024 reserves who combined for one start and 55 total tackles last fall.

Atkinson follows Idaho State transfer Logan George (24 tackles, 5.5 sacks in 2024) as Ohio State’s second defensive end transfer and seventh overall portal addition this offseason.
