One of the positives of the Jacksonville Jaguars naming Urban Meyer their coach is that they have a coach who is heavily connected with some of the top collegiate programs in football. He spent six seasons with the University of Florida (2005-10) before heading to Ohio State from 2012-18.
With him not being that far removed from coaching at Ohio State, some of the players he coached and recruited will be entering April’s draft, and they definitely could be on the Jags’ radar, who need talent everywhere. According to the Buckeyes Wire, there are 14 draft-eligible prospects from Ohio State who’ve entered the draft. Of the group, 12 were coached by Meyer, while two weren’t.
Fans should be able to get a look at each prospect during the Buckeyes’ pro day on March 30. Afterward, it will be on to the draft where some of the players will undoubtedly be selected by the Jags or picked up in undrafted free agency. Here are the names of those prospects as we get closer to their jump to the pros:
