The Tampa Bay Buccaneers officially signed their 2025 first-round draft pick, wide receiver Emeka Egbuka, on Friday. Selected 19th overall, Egbuka joins the Buccaneers after a stellar collegiate career at Ohio State Buckeyes, where he became the school’s all-time leader in receptions (205) and ranked second in receiving yards (2,868).

When he was a college freshman, Egbuka attended church with teammates and said he encountered God in a “supernatural way.” He draws inspiration from his favorite Bible verse, Psalms 37:4: “Delight yourself in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart.”
