Ohio State star duo plant their flag on social media after dominant NFL Combine showing
Adam Cairns/Columbus Dispatch / USA TODAY NETWORK

Only two Ohio State Buckeyes took part in drills on Thursday's opening tests at the 2025 NFL Scouting Combine. Just a few weeks removed from the program completing the longest college football season in history, it's not a surprise stalwarts J.T. Tuimoloau and Jack Sawyer opted against doing on-field activities.

However, the Buckeyes' stellar tackle duo that paired together between JTT and Sawyer at least competed in the on-field exercises. It didn't take long for Tyleik Williams and Ty Hamilton to make a statement and represent the Buckeyes extremely well. 

Take a look at a few clips from Williams and Hamilton.

Both players drew rave reviews from evaluators because they made it look effortless. While some players like Michigan's Mason Graham left everyone disappointed by coming in 24 pounds under his listed weight, Williams' massive 334-pound body and Hamilton's 299-pound showing were huge stock raisers. 

Teams knew they'd get good football players in Williams and Hamilton, but this crowded defensive tackle class requires every bit of information as possible. No one blames the duo for passing on running the 40-yard dash or doing some bench presses, but this was a winning showing for each player.

Williams has the chance to make the end of the first round, whereas Hamilton should hear his name early on Day 3.

Take a look at what each player had to say about their afternoon within one minute of the other's post on X.
