Want to play as Ohio State players in Madden 24? Here are former Buckeyes' player ratings

Madden season is here.

Madden NFL2024 is set to be released Aug. 15. But the Electronic Arts video game has already released its initial player ratings for the game, including every player currently on an NFL roster, including those selected in the 2023 NFL draft.

In Madden NFL 24's initial rollout of player ratings, 61 former Ohio State football players were included, headlined by San Francisco 49ers defensive end Nick Bosa at 98 and Pittsburgh Steelers defensive end Cameron Heyward at 93. Of the players selected in the 2023 draft, Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba leads all Buckeye selections with a 78.

After having seven players with a 90 rating or better in Madden NFL 23, Ohio State only has five in Madden NFL 24: Nick Bosa, Heyward, Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin, Los Angeles Chargers linebacker Joey Bosa and New Orleans Saints cornerback Marshon Lattimore.

Multiple players, including running back Ezekiel Elliott and cornerback Eli Apple, do not have ratings since they have not signed with a team ahead of the 2023 season.
