Carnell Tate Emerging as a High-End, Big-Play Receiver
In the 2025 season, Tate broke out as one of Ohio State’s most dangerous playmakers, pairing explosive downfield ability with reliable volume and touchdown production. He has also shown toughness and a “gritty and courageous” edge after returning from injury, with Ryan Day praising how well he responded in the Michigan game and noting he looked fully effective again. That combination of speed, contested-catch value, and competitive intensity makes him attractive to teams looking for a receiver who can tilt coverage and deliver in big moments.
