The Tampa Bay Buccaneers selected Ohio State WR Emeka Egbuka with the No. 19 overall pick in the 2025 NFL draft. Emeka Egbuka is a detailed and nuanced route runner to fill the "chain mover" role in an NFL offense.

The News Tribune’s 2019 All-Area Player of the Year guided Steilacoom to the school’s first-ever state championship appearance.

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.”
