Tyreke Smith is getting his opportunity to show what he can do in the NFL.
The former Ohio State defensive end heard his name called in the fifth round of the 2022 NFL Draft, when he was selected by the Seattle Seahawks with the 158th overall pick.
A 6-foot-3, 255-pound edge rusher, Smith becomes the fifth Buckeye selected in this year's draft, joining Garrett Wilson, Chris Olave, Nicholas Petit-Frere and Jeremy Ruckert. He is the first defensive player from Ohio State off the board in this year’s draft, the first time since 2012 that Ohio State has not had a defender selected in the first four rounds.
