Tate announced Tuesday that he will forgo his remaining collegiate eligibility at Ohio State to enter the 2026 NFL Draft, Pete Thamel of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Though often overshadowed by fellow standout receiver Jeremiah Smith, Tate was exceptional in his own right during his three-year career at Ohio State. A highly rated recruit from the Class of 2023, Tate wrapped up his junior season in Columbus with 51 catches for 875 yards and nine touchdowns on 65 targets over 12 games. He profiles as a likely first-round selection and could challenge USC's Makai Lemon as the first receiver off the board in the draft.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Battling Lemon for top 2026 WR spot
Tate is one of the top two wide receivers in the 2026 NFL Draft class, per Justin Boone of Yahoo! Sports.
ANALYSIS
Tate and Makai Lemon look to be a notch above the rest of the 2026 wide receiver draft class, and both are candidates to be drafted in the top 10. Tate had 875 receiving yards and nine touchdowns at Ohio State in 2025 while Lemon had 1,156 yards and 11 touchdown catches at USC, but the 6-foot-2, 190-pound Tate has a three-inch height advantage and profiles as a prototypical X-receiver at the NFL level.
