Indianapolis - NFL Scouting Combine Spotlight: Will Kacmarek
As the NFL Scouting Combine kicks into high gear, all eyes are on the promising talents looking to make their mark. Among them is Ohio State's tight end, Will Kacmarek, who kicked off his combine journey with early morning medical exams and an engaging media interview session.
Kacmarek, hailing from St. Louis, carved out a notable college career.
He spent his first three years at Ohio before transferring to Ohio State, where he played his final two seasons. Over his five-year collegiate tenure, Kacmarek took the field in 50 games, starting in 26 of them.
Known primarily for his blocking prowess, he managed to pull in 23 catches for 254 yards and two touchdowns during his time with the Buckeyes.
Standing at an imposing 6-foot-6 and weighing 258 pounds, Kacmarek may not have cracked CBSSports.com's top 200 draft prospects, but that doesn’t rule him out. He’s positioned as a potential late-round pick or could find his path as an undrafted free agent-routes that many successful NFL players have taken.
Kacmarek is one of 11 Ohio State players showcasing their skills at the combine. This impressive group includes notable names like running back C.J. Donaldson, wide receiver Carnell Tate, safety Caleb Downs, and defensive end Caden Curry, among others.
Ohio State's contingent is part of the 319 players invited to the combine, with Texas A&M leading the pack with 13 participants, followed by Alabama with 12. Ohio State and LSU are tied for third, each boasting 11 players ready to impress scouts and coaches.
For those eager to see Kacmarek in action, his interview session is a must-watch. Stay tuned as we continue to follow these athletes on their journey to the NFL.
