For the first time since 2014, Ohio University’s name was called at the NFL Draft. For the first time since 1972, Ohio was called twice.
Bobcat football defensive standouts Tarell Basham and Blair Brown were selected over the weekend and will move from the Mid-American Conference games on Saturdays (and some Tuesdays and Wednesdays) to NFL games on the Sunday stage, provided they earn spots on their respective teams.
Basham was selected in the third-round, 80th overall by the Indianapolis Colts. Brown was taken later in the fifth-round, 148th overall, by the Jacksonville Jaguars.
