Nicholas Petit-Frere goes to the Tennessee Titans as the No. 69 overall pick in the 2022 NFL draft.
The 6-foot-5, 315-pound offensive tackle heads to the NFL with experience playing on both ends of the offensive line. He started at left tackle for the Buckeyes last year, when he earned second-team AP All-American honors and was an Outland Trophy semifinalist. In the pandemic-shortened 2020 season, Petit-Frere started seven contests at right tackle and was a second-team All Big Ten selection.
Although Petit-Frere was only a starter for two seasons at Ohio State, the Florida native played in all 14 games as a reserve in the 2019 season after redshirting his freshman year in 2018. Petit-Frere opted to leave Ohio State before the Rose Bowl and enter the NFL Draft rather than return to OSU as a fifth-year senior. He'll now begin his journey in professional football, which he’s dreamed of since he was a child.
“I came to Ohio State because I wanted to play in the NFL, I wanted to achieve my lifelong dream of playing in the league,” Petit-FrerePetit-Frere joins fellow former Ohio State offensive lineman Jamarco Jones on the Titans’ offensive line. He’ll likely have a chance to compete with 2021 second-round pick Dillon Radunz at right tackle, while he could potentially be Tennessee’s long-term successor to Taylor Lewan at left tackle.
