There’s always a bit of pride when a school sees one of its players selected in the first round of the NFL draft. The school’s social media accounts buzz, recruiting materials get updated and alumni make it a point to track how that player does in the NFL.
But some schools obviously do this more often than others. While places like Alabama and LSU almost always have a player taken in the first round, others school participate only very occasionally. One school from a major conference hasn’t even done had a first-rounder since 1973!
We got a bit curious about the last first-rounder taken from each school. So without further delay, here’s the last player from all 65 Power Five schools to be taken in the first round.
Pittsburgh: Aaron Donald (2014)
Pittsburgh has had 25 total first-rounders. Donald was the last when he was selected 13th overall by the Rams in 2014.
