With up to seven (and maybe eight) possible first-round selections in the upcoming NFL Draft, Ohio State’s pro day has become a major event on the offseason calendar. Accordingly, both ESPN and NFL Network plan to cover the workouts held at the Woody Hayes Athletic Center this coming Friday, March 11.
As reported by Eleven Warriors, ESPN will broadcast SportsCenter live from the pro day events in Columbus beginning at 10 a.m. ET. Randy Scott will host the telecast with a crew of reporters and analysts providing coverage, including Marty Smith, Brock Huard, Todd McShay and former Buckeyes receiver Joey Galloway. Quarterback guru George Whitfield will also be a part of the broadcast, wearing a microphone as he works with players during drills.

No word on who will be on hand for NFL Network’s coverage, which will also begin at 10 a.m. Analysts Mike Mayock and Daniel Jeremiah would seem to be locks for the broadcast team, while Charles Davis, Charley Casserly, Bucky Brooks and Andrew Siciliano have been part of the network’s draft coverage.
The Ohio State players expected to go in the NFL Draft’s first round this year include defensive end Joey Bosa, running back Ezekiel Elliott, cornerback Eli Apple, offensive tackle Taylor Decker, safety Vonn Bell, outside linebacker Darron Lee and receiver Michael Thomas and Braxton Miller.
