Former Ohio State wide receiver Carnell Tate is one of the top wideouts heading into the 2026 NFL Draft.
Tate spent his collegiate career at Ohio State and helped the program win a national title during the 2024 season, finishing with 52 receptions for 733 yards and four touchdowns.
He then finished the 2025 season with 51 receptions for 875 yards and nine touchdowns. In three seasons as a Buckeye, Tate racked up 121 receptions for 1,872 yards and 14 touchdowns.
Tate was part of some big news on Wednesday, as he's now part of Adidas's 2026 NFL rookie class. The class features 14 of the top NFL Draft prospects, including Tate.
Adidas brought in some of these players to its headquarters in Portland, Oregon, last week for a celebration. It was the first Adidas Football Pro Day ever.

This is pretty awesome for Tate, and it won't be long until he finds out which NFL team he will play for. He's projected to be a first-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, which will be held in Pittsburgh. He's a great route-runner and can make any catch in any situation on the field.
The 2026 NFL Draft will take place from Apr. 23-25. Coverage will be available on ESPN, ABC, and NFL Network.
