Ohio State's Emeka Egbuka Opts for Senior Season Over NFL Draft

Projected first-round pick's decision to return surprises fans, positions him as potential top receiver for Buckeyes in 2024.

Emeka Egbuka, a top wide receiver for the Ohio State Buckeyes, has decided to return for his senior season, foregoing the 2024 NFL Draft.
Egbuka's decision came as a surprise to many, as he was projected to be a first-round pick in the NFL Draft.
Despite a relatively down year with 41 catches for 515 yards and four touchdowns, Egbuka is considered one of the best wide receivers in the country.
With Marvin Harrison Jr., another key receiver for the Buckeyes, expected to declare for the NFL Draft, Egbuka is poised to become the team's No. 1 wide receiver in 2024.
Other Ohio State players, including guard Donovan Jackson and cornerbacks Denzel Burke and Jordan Hancock, have also announced their plans to return, bolstering the team's prospects for the next season.
