Ohio State led all NCAA programs with 14 players selected in the 2025 NFL Draft.

The Buckeyes' 14 picks fell one short of the record set by Georgia, which had 15 players drafted in 2022. However, the 14 selections matched the Big Ten record for most players drafted from a single conference team, a mark set by Ohio State in 2004, according to Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated.

Georgia had 13 players picked in 2025, finishing as the runner-up to Ohio State.
