Ohio State WR Carnell Tate ran an official 4.53 40-yard dash at the 2026 NFL Combine.

It was a slower time than some expected from Tate, who ran an unofficial 4.54 on both attempts. That said, it’s still a solid time for the 6-foot-2, 192-pound receiver who is viewed by many as the top receiver in this year’s class. Tate will have a chance to improve his time at Ohio State’s pro day, which is scheduled for March 25th, but we wouldn’t expect this time to have any kind of impact on his draft stock.
