In 2017, a school-record six Buckeyes were selected in the Major League Lacrosse draft on May 28. For comparison, seven Buckeyes were selected in the 2017 NFL draft. Can the lacrosse team reload like OSU football has?
While Major League Lacrosse might not be as lucrative as the NFL, having six Buckeyes drafted in a single year is quite the feat.
Kicking off the event for the Buckeyes was faceoff specialist Jake Withers who was selected No. 9 overall by the Atlanta Blaze. Withers made a name for himself by placing in the top five in the NCAA in faceoff win percentage and in the top 10 in groundballs per game.
