Ohio State center, Luke Wypler, has realized his dream of being an NFL player. The Cleveland Browns selected the 6-foot, 3-inch, 300-pounder out of Montvale, New Jersey, in the sixth round of the 2023 NFL draft with the 190th pick.
He came to the Buckeyes as a four-star prospect and quickly took over the center position once it was up for grabs in 2021. Wypler started 26 consecutive games across that year and 2022. He earned third-team all-Big Ten Conference honors by the voting media this past season. He decided to leave school with two years of eligibility left.
