Ohio State defensive tackle Ty Hamilton selected by Rams in fifth round of NFL Draft
COLUMBUS — Ohio State defensive tackle Ty Hamilton went from Pickerington native to national champion for the Buckeyes. Now he’s ready to make his mark in the NFL.
Hamilton will begin his NFL career in Los Angeles; he was selected by the Los Angeles Rams with the 148th overall pick in the fifth round of the 2025 NFL Draft on Saturday. Hamilton is the fourth and final starting Ohio State defensive lineman from that national championship defense to be selected in this year’s draft, joining defensive tackle Tyleik Williams, who was a first-round pick to the Detroit Lions, and defensive ends J.T. Tuimoloau and Jack Sawyer.
He’s the 11th Ohio State player to be selected in this draft.
The fifth-year senior appeared in 57 games across five seasons at Ohio State, but was never the most highly discussed defensive lineman on the Buckeyes roster during his time with the program. He was, however, productive across multiple seasons. For his career, he had 116 total tackles, 14 tackles for loss and eight sacks. He had six tackles for loss and 3.5 sacks last year for the Buckeyes.
Hamilton is the brother of current Jacksonville Jaguars defensive tackle DaVon Hamilton.
He’s also a Pickerington native, a local legend at Ohio State and a national champion. Now he’s a member of the Los Angeles Rams after being selected in the fifth round of the 2025 NFL Draft.
