OSU Buckeye TE Will Kacmarek Selected No. 87, Heads to Miami Dolphins

Will Kacmarek caught 11 passes for 146 yards and two touchdowns last season at Ohio State.

  • On Friday, the Miami Dolphins selected Ohio State tight end Will Kacmarek in the third round of the 2026 NFL Draft with the 87th overall pick.
  • Standing 6-foot-6 and 258 pounds, Kacmarek earned recognition as a physical blocker; Ohio State tight ends coach Keenan Bailey called him "the best blocking tight end in the country" last year.
  • A St. Louis native, Kacmarek played three years at Ohio University before finishing his collegiate career at Ohio State, where he recorded 15 receptions for 168 yards and two touchdowns in 2025.
  • His selection marks the eighth player from Ohio State chosen within the first three rounds, continuing a banner draft year for the Buckeyes program.
  • While scouts suggest Kacmarek must improve his pad level and hand placement to sustain blocks, the rookie offers Miami immediate potential to enhance their run-game efficiency.
