BREAKING NEWS: Ohio State Buckeye Jack Sawyer Expressed a Desire to Be Selected by Either Cleveland Browns or Cincinnati Bengals in the 2025 NFL Draft
Ohio State Buckeyes defensive end Jack Sawyer has made it clear where he wants to begin his NFL career. The standout pass rusher has expressed a strong desire to be selected by either the Cleveland Browns or the Cincinnati Bengals in the 2025 NFL Draft, keeping his football journey in his home state.
Sawyer, a former five-star recruit from Pickerington, Ohio, has been a key player for the Buckeyes, showcasing his ability to dominate at the line of scrimmage. With an impressive blend of strength, speed, and versatility, he is projected to be one of the top defensive prospects in the upcoming draft.
“I’ve always loved Ohio football, and it would be a dream to continue playing here at the next level,” Sawyer reportedly stated. His preference for the Browns or Bengals aligns with his deep roots in the state, having grown up watching both franchises.
Both teams could be intriguing landing spots for the talented edge rusher. The Browns, led by head coach Kevin Stefanski, boast one of the league’s best defensive fronts but could look to add more depth behind Myles Garrett. Meanwhile, the Bengals, under Zac Taylor, have been building a strong defensive core and might see Sawyer as a perfect fit for their future plans.
With the draft still months away, much will depend on how the 2024 college season unfolds and where teams position themselves in the selection order. However, if Sawyer continues his upward trajectory, there’s a strong chance Ohio football fans could see him suiting up for one of their NFL teams in 2025.
Sawyer’s decision to openly express his desire to stay in Ohio has already sparked conversations among Buckeyes and NFL fans alike. Many see his potential transition to the Browns or Bengals as a seamless continuation of his journey, maintaining the deep football culture he’s been a part of his entire life.
NFL analysts have also weighed in on the possibility, with some believing his draft stock could make him a top-15 pick, depending on his final season at Ohio State. Scouts have praised his ability to pressure quarterbacks, his explosiveness off the line, and his adaptability in various defensive schemes.
As the season progresses, teams across the league will keep a close eye on Sawyer’s performance, evaluating whether he fits their long-term plans. But for now, Ohio football fans can dream about one of their own continuing to make an impact close to home, whether it’s in Cleveland or Cincinnati.
