Report: Ohio State WR Emeka Egbuka spends weekend visiting Cowboys, set to meet Packers

Emeka Egbuka is one of the most highly-touted wide receiver prospects in the NFL Draft this year. Evidently, the Ohio State standout isn’t wasting anytime getting to know potential suitors, either. On Monday, ESPN’s Adam Schefter revealed which NFL teams Egbuka is visiting.

“Ohio St. WR Emeka Egbuka is visiting today and Tuesday with the Green Bay Packers. Egbuka spent Friday and Saturday visiting the Cowboys,” Schefter wrote on X.

Egbuka tallied a career-high 81 receptions in the 2024 campaign at OSU for 1,011 yards and 10 touchdowns. With the standout campaign, he joined Marvin Harrison Jr. as only the second player in program history to record back-to-back 1,000-yard receiving seasons.

For his efforts, he was named an All-Big Ten Third-Team selection. He was also a team captain on the Buckeyes, guiding them to their first national championship since 2014. Egbuka notched six catches for 64 yards in the win.

Egbuka’s all-conference selection in the 2024 campaign was far from the only accolade he collected during his illustrious collegiate career. He is a two-time All-Big Ten Third-Team selection, one-time All-Big Ten Second-Team member and three-time Academic all-conference honoree. Moreover, His 205 career receptions are the most in school history.

In total, he appeared in 51 games as a Buckeyes and made 40 consecutive starts to close his career. He has the second-most career receiving yards in Ohio State history and will likely be inducted into the OSU Hall of Fame one day.

Now, Egbuka is hungry to find similar success on football’s biggest stage. Ahead of the draft, NFL.com’s Lance Zierlein provided an in-depth analysis of Egbuka’s game.

“Fluid athlete with good size and quality ball skills who works primarily from the slot,” Zierlein wrote. “Egbuka runs his routes with tempo and pace. He does a nice job of influencing coverage when needed. He lacks the explosiveness to race past the coverage and is a little tight in his hips getting in and out of breaks.

“Egbuka’s baseball background shows up with his laser-focused ball-tracking and ability to make sudden adjustments to bring throws in for a safe landing. He’s not elusive or sudden after the catch but is competitive and can squeeze out additional yardage. Egbuka projects as an early starter at slot for teams running heavy amounts of three-wideout sets.”

In the first two rounds of the draft, the Cowboys own the No. 12 and 44 picks. The Packers have the No. 23 and 54 picks. The NFL Draft will take place from April 24-26 at Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wisconsin.
