Ohio State OL Paris Johnson Jr. Commits to 2023 NFL Draft

Ohio State offensive tackle Paris Johnson, who earned consensus All-American honors in 2022, announced on Tuesday he will enter the NFL draft. 

“It has always been a dream of mine since I committed to The Ohio State University to leave with both my degree and a Buckeye Tree,” Johnson wrote on Twitter. “I am grateful for the opportunity to be able to accomplish both in three years. After having several conversations with my coaches and family, I want to accomplish the first dream of mine since I was five years old, which is to declare for the 2023 NFL Draft.

“Thank you, Buckeye Nation, and to everyone who has ever given me a ride, red me and supported my dreams. I will forever bleed Scarlet & Gray and be eternally grateful of the experiences shared here.”
