The Ohio State Buckeyes and Texas Longhorns were two of the best collegiate programs in the nation last season in 2024. They put on a show for us in the Cotton Bowl in a back-and-forth game until the Buckeyes ultimately claimed the 28-14 victory thanks to their fourth-quarter heroics.
That Cotton Bowl matchup featured quite a bit of NFL caliber talent, many of which are now part of the 2025 NFL Draft class. Between the Buckeyes and Longhorns there's a couple of dozen players with draftable grades this year and close to half of those NFL hopefuls could end up being Top 100 selections
This could be of particular interest to the Dallas Cowboys, who currently hold three draft picks in the Top 100 (12, 44, 76).
