LSU has long held the belt as “Wide Receiver U,” but Ohio State has made a push in recent years to take it away. The Buckeyes have produced several high-profile wideouts, including Jaxon Smith-Njigba, who helped lead the Seattle Seahawks to a Super Bowl LX title and just became the highest-paid wide receiver in NFL history. Ohio State has also sent the likes of Garrett Wilson, Chris Olave, Terry McLaurin, Marvin Harrison Jr. and Emeka Egbuka to the league in recent years.
Could Carnell Tate be the latest OSU pass catcher to take the NFL by storm?
He’s earmarked to be a first-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft in Pittsburgh later this spring and could very well be the first wideout off the board. In fact, CBS Sports Senior NFL analyst Pete Prisco has Tate as the first receiver selected, landing with the Cleveland Browns at No. 6 overall in his opening mock draft. CBS Sports’ Mike Renner also slots Tate inside the top 10 as the No. 1 receiver, projecting him to the New Orleans Saints at No. 8 overall in his post-free agency mock draft.
