Ohio State offensive tackle Josh Simmons plans to enter the 2025 NFL Draft, his agent confirmed to ESPN on Wednesday.
Simmons was in his second season as the Buckeyes’ starting left tackle in 2024 but last played against Oregon on Oct. 12 because of a knee injury that required surgery. He was named honorable mention All-Big Ten when the teams were announced Tuesday.
Simmons turns 22 on Dec. 26 and is one of the top five offensive linemen in the 2025 draft according to Field Level Media rankings, and agent Drew Rosenhaus proclaimed his new client on target to be a first-rounder.
“Josh will be fully cleared for practice by the start of NFL training camp and he will be a high first-round pick,” Rosenhaus said.
A transfer in 2023, Simmons spent his first two seasons at San Diego State. He started 13 games in 2022 at right tackle before shifting to the left side in Columbus. He started every game in 2023 and Ohio State’s first six games this season.
