Carnell Tate's Player Profile

Mel Kiper - ESPN - January 21st: "Tate produced big plays on a regular basis, averaging 17.2 yards per catch this season. He is a precise route runner, has great hands and displays outstanding body control. And he'll also happily block for ball carriers, which NFL coaches love to see."

Walt - Walter Football- January 20th: "Carnell Tate didn’t do much as a freshman, but the tall receiver had a breakout sophomore campaign."

Gordon McGinness - PFF - January 19th: "The next man up in an increasingly long line of impressive Ohio State wide receivers, Tate caught 85.7% of the contested targets he saw in 2025, didn’t drop a pass and averaged 3.03 yards per route run."

Josh Edwards - CBS Sports - January 19th: "Tate is a bigger body with great body control and a feel for playing in space."

NFL Draft Buzz- January: "Tate will thrive in an NFL offense that maximizes his route precision and intermediate excellence, profiling as a high-floor possession receiver who understands professional concepts. He's a natural Z-receiver who dominates in that 10-20 yard sweet spot where timing matters, with his smooth efficiency in all route-running aspects translating seamlessly to NFL systems."
