    ESPN’s Jenna Laine believes Emeka Egbuka is “going to have a big role” in Tampa Bay’s offense.
    Notably, Laine adds that she expects the role to be big even after Chris Godwin returns from ankle surgery. Egbuka has been fed in the short passing game and at times has looked “like a running back once the ball is in his hands.” It’s possible that Egbuka eats heavily into Jalen McMillan’s target share in 2025. Egbuka seems like a pretty interesting pick in best ball at this point, often going outside of the top-40 receivers.
  • TB Wide Receiver
    Buccaneers signed No. 19 overall pick WR Emeka Egbuka to a four-year contract.
    Egbuka gets $18.1 million on his rookie deal. The former Buckeye joins a receiving room that already features Mike Evans and Chris Godwin, and will have a chance to immediately take over in three-receiver sets in Josh Grizzard’s offense. Egbuka caught 205 passes during his career at Ohio State and broke out as a sophomore in 2022 when he caught 74 passes for 1,151 yards and 10 touchdowns. With a career slot rate of 73.2 percent, he’ll likely play a similar role in 2025, with a chance to see more work on the outside later in his career.
  • TB Wide Receiver
    Buccaneers selected Ohio State WR Emeka Egbuka with the No. 19 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.
    Egbuka (6’1/205) earned a starting role in his second season and immediately ran with it to the tune of 74 receptions, 1,151 yards, and 10 scores. He added two touchdowns on the ground. Egbuka thrived in the No. 2 role opposite Marvin Harrison Jr. while catching passes from C.J. Stroud. An ankle injury derailed his junior season and he returned for a final outing in 2024. Unfortunately for Egbuka, Ohio State had freshman phenom Jeremiah Smith in the fold and Egbuka was forced to play second fiddle to a future star once again. He did, however, top 1,000 yards with double-digit touchdowns for the second time. Egbuka ran three-quarters of his career routes from the slot and will start his career primarily as a slot receiver for Tampa Bay. That makes him a slightly awkward fit for a team that just brought back Chris Godwin on a three-year deal. Godwin is currently recovering from a dislocated ankle, but his contract suggests Tampa Bay isn’t worried about his long-term outlook. It’s also a nightmare scenario for Jalen McMillan, who broke out late in 2024 after Godwin went down. McMillan may struggle to earn playing time in the now-crowded receiver room.
  • FA Wide Receiver
    ESPN’s Peter Schrager reports that Ohio State WR Emeka Egbuka and Georgia LB Jalon Walker are “universally beloved” by NFL coaches and general managers.
    The two players have reportedly “won the interview process” with their character and talent. Schrager adds that “you will not find a coach or general manager who doesn’t just rave about both young men.” Egbuka was a three-year starter at Ohio State and averaged 2.61 yards per route run over the course of his college career. Walker played a multifaceted role in Georgia’s defense, lining up as an edge rusher and inside linebacker. He led his team with 28 quarterback pressures and a 17.2 percent pass-rush win rate this year.
  • ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports Ohio State WR Emeka Egbuka will meet with the Packers and Cowboys.
    The Cowboys are in need of a viable WR2 opposite CeeDee Lamb, while the Packers are simply looking for a true WR1 to pair with their slew of productive receivers. Egbuka is a fourth-year prospect who broke out in 2022 to the tune of 74-1,151-10. Injuries limited him to 10 games in 2023, and he saw his production dip as a result, but he closed out his career with 81 catches for 1,011 yards and 10 touchdowns. At 6-foot-1 and 202 pounds, Egbuka has the size to play on the outside but played 73 percent of his snaps from the slot. He’d make for a solid addition to either team, but with Jayden Reed heavily occupying the slot in Green Bay, it’s hard to know how Egbuka would factor into the Packers’ offense if they selected him.
  • TB Wide Receiver
    Ohio State received a verbal commitment from five-star 2021 WR Emeka Egbuka.
    Per 247 Sports’ composite rating, Egbuka is the best wide receiver recruit in the country. At 6-foot-1 and 190-pounds, Egbuka is not the biggest wide receiver out there, but his blend of speed and explosion through his routes makes him an absolute nightmare in an Ohio State offense that does well to generate space. Egbuka even posted a 4.42 40-yard dash time as a junior during a national high school combine, proving himself as one of the country’s premier blazers. Ohio State’s WR room is always stacked, but do not be shocked if Egbuka comes in to contribute right away. Egbuka is now Ohio State’s 21st 2021 commit and their second-highest rated of the bunch, trailing only DE Jack Sawyer.

  • TB Wide Receiver
    247Sports’ Brandon Huffman writes that among the top four teams in play for uncommitted five-star 2021 WR Emeka Egbuka, Clemson is a “very distant fourth.”
    While the Tigers did make Egbuka’s top-four list released in May, they look to have serious ground to make up if they’re to realistically be in play for the five-star wideout when he announces his pledge. Ohio State, Oklahoma and Washington are the other three contenders in play, here. The Sooners are the only team in this lot which the Steilacoom, Washington, native has yet to visit, but OU has aced it virtually with the five-star wideout. OSU looks to be the favorite in this race as things currently stand, but Egbuka would like to take further visits down the road if allowed and there’s no indication that he’s on the verge of a commitment (though we have seen a number of prospects push their announcements up due to the coronavirus). On the 247Sports composite board, Egbuka sits atop a lofty perch, ranking as the No. 8 overall prospect in the 2021 class.

  • TB Wide Receiver
    Rivals’ Adam Gorney believes Ohio State is the top school on uncommitted five-star 2021 WR Emeka Egbuka’s radar.
    A month ago, 247 Sports wrote Washington, Ohio State, and Clemson, in no particular order, were the top schools in the running for Egbuka. Now, Rivals has honed in the search a bit, ranking Ohio State as the clear best school and fit for Egbuka. Gorney writes that “no team in the country is recruiting wide receivers as well as Ohio State” and the Buckeyes plan on making Egbuka (6'1/190) next on their list of elite WR recruits. A tall, fast WR with experience playing CB, Egbuka is the perfect ball of potential for a powerhouse passing program such as Ohio State.

  • TB Wide Receiver
    247Sports’ Steve Wiltfong passes along that Washington, Ohio State and Clemson are “perceived to be in the best position” with uncommitted five-star 2021 WR Emeka Egbuka.
    Egbuka (6'1/190) is additionally intrigued by Alabama, LSU, Notre Dame, Oklahoma, Oregon, Stanford and USC. But those programs look like they’ll have a little ground to make up, here. The Steilacoom, Washington, native is a beaut when it comes to body control and the tough catch. An extremely tough, physically-minded wideout. On the 247Sports composite board, Egbuka slots in at a lofty No. 7 overall.
  • TB Wide Receiver
    While uncommitted five-star 2021 WR Emeke Egbuka is kicking around potential spring officials, nothing has been locked in on that front.
    Egbuka (6'1/190) is dealing with a top-10 of Alabama, Clemson, LSU, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Oklahoma, Oregon, Stanford, USC and Washington. While there are four Pac-12 programs among that lot, the Steilacoom, Washington, native told 247Sports that he would prefer to use his allotted five officials on programs which are off his relative regional radar. We will pass along word once Egbuka begins to lock in his OVs. On the field, Egbuka plays with a Bulldog mentality, one which he couples with plenty of downfield speed. The 247Sports composite board sees the five-star wideout home as the No. 9 overall prospect in the 2021 class.
