Former Ohio State defensive lineman Haskell Garrett and Tyreke Smith played the final game of their college careers on Saturday afternoon, leading the National Team to a 20-10 win over the American in the 2022 Senior Bowl.
Garrett recorded three tackles on the afternoon, including one stop on former Alabama running back Brian Robinson Jr. and a pair on former Florida running back Dameon Pierce. Smith, meanwhile, added six-yard sack of former Liberty quarterback Malik Willis to force a punt.
Tight end Jeremy Ruckert had a strong week of practice leading up to the game but did not participate after his grandfather passed away on Friday. He also reportedly suffered a minor foot injury in practice earlier in the week that would have limited him on Saturday.
The next step in the pre-draft process for the former Buckeyes is the NFL Combine, which will take place in Indianapolis on March 1-7. Ohio State will then hold its annual Pro Day later in the month, though that date has not yet been announced.
The 2022 NFL Draft is set for April 28-30 at Allegiant Stadium in Paradise, Nev., home of the Las Vegas Raiders.
