Maybe Lathan Ransom was the perfect Day 3 pick for the Carolina Panthers after all.
The Panthers, at the 122nd overall spot of the 2025 NFL draft, selected Ransom—the standout safety from the Ohio State University.
A Tuscon, Ariz. native, Ransom played at Columbus, Ohio from 2020 to 2024. Over that five-year run, he amassed 227 total tackles, 3.5 sacks, three interceptions and 13 passes defensed.
Ransom, as a starter for the 2024 College Football Playoff national champion Buckeyes, recorded 76 tackles, a pick and a sack this past season. He was named a first-team All-Big Ten member for his efforts.
Prior to selecting Ransom, the Panthers had just three safeties on their current roster—Demani Richardson, Nick Scott and free-agent signee Tre'von Moehrig. Moehrig, a former Las Vegas Raider, joined Carolina on a three-year, $51 million pact earlier this offseason.
