Emeka Egbuka, Ex-Ohio State Wide Receiver, Scores Two Touchdowns in Game

Ohio State has another shining star on the gridiron, this time in the NFL. Emeka Egbuka, the former Ohio State wide receiver, wasted no time making a splash in his NFL debut by snagging two impressive touchdown passes.

His first touchdown came on a 30-yard pass in the second quarter, showcasing his speed and skill. Then, in a thrilling moment, Egbuka caught a 25-yard pass down the middle to give the Tampa Bay Buccaneers a lead of 23-20 with less than a minute left in the game.

This game-winning catch sealed the victory for the Buccaneers when the Atlanta Falcons missed a field goal in the final seconds. Egbuka, the 19th overall pick in this year’s NFL draft, ended his debut game with four catches for 67 yards and a nine-yard run.

Egbuka wasn’t the only former Ohio State wide receiver to shine on the NFL stage. His former teammates Marvin Harrison Jr. and Garrett Wilson also found the end zone in Week 1. Harrison Jr. made a touchdown catch for the Arizona Cardinals, while Wilson scored for the New York Jets in a game filled with former Buckeyes showcasing their talent.

It’s exciting to see Ohio State’s influence on the NFL and the impact these players are making in the pros. The future looks bright for Buckeye stars transitioning to the next level of their careers.
