PROVE IT: Ohio State’s Carnell Tate Ready to PROVE He’s 2026 NFL Draft WR1 vs Miami

Carnell Tate has a chance to solidify his status as the top wide receiver prospect for the 2026 NFL Draft with a standout performance as Ohio State faces Miami in a high-stakes College Football Playoff battle. Can Carson Beck rebound under immense pressure and lead the Hurricanes’ offense against a tenacious Buckeye defense anchored by Kayden McDonald, Sonny Styles, and Arvell Reese? Meanwhile, Mark Fletcher’s dynamic running style and Markell Bell’s massive presence on the Miami offensive line set up compelling matchups in the trenches.

Damian Parson spotlights key NFL Draft prospects on both sides, including Miami’s versatile Keonte Scott and edge rushers Rueben Bain Jr. and Akheem Mesidor, whose pass-rush skills could give Ohio State’s offense headaches. Strategic matchups—like Reese vs. Bell and Jakobe Thomas hunting for turnovers—may be decisive. Which future NFL stars will seize the moment and tip the playoff scales? Tune in for in-depth positional breakdowns and bold takes on who’s set to rise.
