MIAMI GARDENS — The Miami Dolphins selected Ohio State tight end Will Kacmarek with their second of three third-round picks in the NFL Draft.
Kacmarek was the second tight end taken from Ohio State in this year's draft, behind Max Klare, the second round pick of the Rams. Kacmarek is an elite blocker who recorded 15 receptions for 168 yards and two touchdowns in 2025, after a junior season in which he caught eight passes for 86 yards. He was projected as a third-day pick, anywhere from the fourth to sixth round.
The 6-foot-5, 261-pound Kacmarek started his career at Ohio University, playing three seasons. He had 42 catches for 507 yards and two touchdowns while playing in the Mid-American Conference.

The pick was the one the Dolphins received from the Philadelphia Eagles in the Jaelan Phillips trade.
"The Dolphins are getting the toughest and best blocking tight end in the country," Ohio State coach Ryan Day said. "Will established himself quickly here at Ohio State and was consistent throughout his career, bringing a physical mentality every day. He is a reliable player who can be a weapon in the pass game and has a high football IQ."
NFL.com's Lance Zierlein wrote: "Kacmarek is an old-school, big-bodied “Y” tight end with size, strength and a field demeanor for run blocking. He needs to improve his pad level and play with more consistent hand placement to continue sustaining blocks on the next level. He drives his feet on contact to create displacement on down blocks and washes defenders into the pile as a zone blocker. Catch production will be sparse and come primarily when schemed or on short zone-beaters. Kacmarek’s lack of receiving value could limit his draft stock, but teams looking to prioritize their run-game improvement should be interested on Day 3."
Will Kacmarek recorded 42 catches for 507 yards and two touchdowns during his time at Ohio University.
Will Kacmarek was drafted by the Miami Dolphins in the 2026 NFL Draft.
Two tight ends were drafted from Ohio State in 2026, with Will Kacmarek being the second after Max Klare.
