Staff report

YOUNGSTOWN — Youngstown State tight end Drew Ogletree was drafted in the sixth round by the Indianapolis Colts on Saturday. He was the 192nd overall selection.

Ogletree, a Dayton native, caught 40 passes for 391 yards in two seasons as a Penguin. Last season, he had 28 receptions for 282 yards. At Findlay, where he played from 2016-2019, the 6-foot-6 target hauled in 91 passes for 1,147 yards and 10 touchdowns.

Ogletree is the first Youngstown State player to be drafted since Derek Rivers and Avery Moss were taken in the third and fifth rounds, respectively, in the 2017 draft.

After the draft concluded, fellow former Penguin Grant Dixon, a linebacker, was extended an invitation to the Colts’ rookie mini-camp.
