Which Ohio State receiver did Tennessee draft fourth overall in 2026?

Carnell Tate was the Ohio State wide receiver selected fourth overall by the Tennessee Titans in the 2026 NFL draft.

Tate joined Ohio State after developing at IMG Academy in Florida and became a starter during the Buckeyes’ 2024 national championship season. Tennessee chose him with the No. 4 pick on April 23, 2026, making him one of the draft’s earliest offensive selections.

At Ohio State, Tate played alongside fellow star receiver Jeremiah Smith in a crowded but highly productive receiving group. He contributed 52 receptions for 733 yards and four touchdowns in 2024, then finished his 2025 season with 51 receptions, 875 yards and nine touchdowns. Those numbers helped establish him as a polished, big-play target despite sharing attention with other elite Buckeyes receivers.

A useful historical detail is that Tate joined Marvin Harrison Jr. as the highest-drafted wide receiver in Ohio State history. The other listed names were different 2026 prospects: Omar Cooper Jr. was not Tennessee’s fourth-overall selection, while Jordyn Tyson and Makai Lemon went elsewhere in the draft.
