Rumor is that he is out. Not confirmed as of yet.

DT TOMMY TOGIAI
While Togiai was only a one-year starter for Ohio State, that one season was likely enough to make him a second- or third-round pick in this year’s NFL draft.

Both a dominant run stopper and a disruptive interior pass-rusher from his nose tackle spot for the Buckeyes in 2020, Togiai has the tools to continue to be an every-down player at the next level. Known for being Ohio State’s strongest player during his years with the Buckeyes, Togiai also has excellent athleticism for his size at 6-foot-2 and 300 pounds.

Ohio State hasn’t had a defensive tackle selected in the first two rounds of the draft since Johnathan Hankins in 2013, but Togiai might be the best prospect the Buckeyes have had at the position since.


Tommy Togiai needed only one year as an Ohio State starter to establish himself as a potential early-round pick.

 

Tommy Togiai said leaving Ohio State was “probably the hardest decision I’ve made so far in my life,” but he and his family felt it was best for him to enter the 2021 NFL draft. https://t.co/2y5DPLReDC

“Everyone thinks of me just strong and big and that’s it. But I’ve got the speed along with it and can move. Wanted to put that on a showcase today.”

• On 40 bench press reps: "I'm a little disappointed. I feel like maybe I could do more. But 40's a good number."
• The possibility of playing for Meyer with the Jaguars: "That would be a great kind of opportunity for me just to be coached by him again."
