Lathan Ransom
2025 NFL Draft Prospect
- Height: 6-0
- Weight: 206
- School: Ohio State
- Class: Senior
| PRO | CON |
|---|---|
| Strong player with the right mindset and makeup to make a difference in the box. Lined up all over the defense but was most effective near the box. Reads and reacts quickly, great when used as a blitzer. Gets off blocks well. | Play speed doesn’t equal the same impact as his physicality. Doesn’t change direction overly well. Was exposed at times in coverage and in high-safety scenarios. Lingering injuries will be a question mark too. |
OVERVIEW: Ransom was one of just five total fifth-year letterwinners in Ohio State's history. His final season was one to remember as he notched 76 tackles, ranking fourth on the team, with nine tackles for loss and three forced fumbles, which topped the squad. Having lined up at multiple spots on the defense throughout his career, he logged over 2,400 snaps with the Buckeyes, who counted on him to wear many hats as part of their championship defense.
