Between the rosters of Notre Dame, Ohio State, Penn State and Texas, there are dozens of 2025 NFL Draft prospects who will be looking to make a statement on the big stage during the College Football Playoff semifinals. While their focus is on trying to win a national championship, prospects also know that all NFL eyes will be on these games.

The Buckeyes’ defense will be tested by the high-flying Longhorns, who are 13-2 and rank 21st in scoring. Texas lost to Georgia twice this year but bounced back to beat Clemson in the first round and Arizona State in the Peach Bowl, approaching 40 points in both victories.

Notre Dame will be without a tight end as it sits two wins away from its first national championship in 36 years.
