2025 NFL Draft: Ohio State, Georgia and other college football programs with the most NFL talent

In April, Michigan fell two players short of matching Georgia’s record (15) for the most NFL Draft picks. Although the record is not expected to be challenged this year, there are several programs that are rich with NFL talent. It is very early in the process so the work done by the Senior and Shrine Bowls were taken into consideration for overall depth of a roster’s talent and the players already considered potential Top-100 overall selections weighed for heavily in the decisions. 

Without further ado, the college football programs with the most 2025 NFL Draft talent:

1. Georgia

Georgia had the most representatives between the Senior and Shrine Bowl Watch Lists (24). They also have some of the top prospects at their respective positions. Carson Beck may be the draft’s top quarterback prospect. Mykel Williams may be the draft’s top edge rusher prospect. Malaki Starks may be the draft’s top safety prospect. A handful of young players could burst onto the scene as they embrace expanded roles: cornerback Daylen Everette, cornerback Julian Humphrey, tight end Oscar Delp, linebacker Jalon Walker and others. 

Here are the other Bulldogs who appeared on those Watch Lists:

WR Dillon Bell
DL Warren Brinson
OL Dylan Fairchild
OT Earnest Greene III
S Dan Jackson
WR Dominic Lovett
LB Smael Mondon Jr.
OL Tate Ratledge
WR Arian Smith
DL Nazir Stackhouse
OT Xavier Truss
WR Rara Thomas
WR Michael Jackson III
OL Jared Wilson
DL Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins
S David Daniel-Sisavanah
WR Colbie Young
TE Benjamin Yurosek

2. Ohio State

No program benefitted more from last year’s NFL Draft declarations than the Buckeyes. Several key figures on that defense returned for the 2024 season. Cornerback Denzel Burke, wide receiver Emeka Egbuka, edge rusher Jack Sawyer, edge rusher J.T. Tuimoloau and defensive tackle Tyleik Williams were all potential Top-50 overall prospects in last year’s draft.
