Scouting Report
Ohio State · 2025 draft class
Egbuka is a polished receiver with excellent route-running precision and reliable hands. He creates separation with detailed footwork and subtle body manipulation at the top of routes. Egbuka displays outstanding body control and adjustment to the ball in the air, making difficult catches look routine. His hands are exceptional, rarely dropping catchable passes and plucking the ball away from his frame. After the catch, Egbuka shows good vision and enough elusiveness to create additional yardage. His football intelligence is evident in how he finds soft spots against zone coverage.
