Summary
Caden Curry broke out for the Buckeyes last fall in his first year as a starter, totaling 11 sacks as their most consistent defensive lineman. He’s a steady difference-maker against both the run and pass. The question is whether his traits translate to the NFL. His length and explosiveness are below average for the position, which is concerning at a traits-driven spot like defensive end.
About
- 2025: Third-team All-American
- 2025: 11.0 sacks (tied for ninth-most in FBS)
Strengths
- Agile big man; foot quickness to reach the edges of tackles.
- Sinks into contact and maintains leverage.
- Skilled hand usage and placement.
Weaknesses
- Lack of length shows up; tackles can get into his pads.
- Doesn’t threaten the corner with burst.
- Not an athlete to play in space and doesn’t have the size to consistently rush inside.

Colts' Caden Curry: Lands with Colts
The Colts selected Curry in the sixth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 214th overall.
If the draft were just a matter of selecting the most productive college football players, then Curry (6-foot-3, 257 pounds) would have gone much earlier than this. It's almost puzzling that Curry could lead the 2025 Buckeyes defense in tackles for loss (16.5) and sacks (11.0) and still fall this far in the draft, especially given all the other star-level talent boasted by the Buckeyes defense. Curry was a backup for his first three years at Ohio State, however, and his short arms (30 and 1/8 inches) might leave him less effective at shedding blocks than he was at the college level. Some great collegiate players just don't really translate to the pro level due to lack of athletic traits, and Curry's grades on that front are poor enough that he likely projects as a backup in the NFL.
