Former Ohio State offensive lineman Thayer Munford is officially a Raider.

Over the weekend, Munford signed his rookie contract with Las Vegas. He was selected in the seventh round of the 2022 NFL Draft with the No. 238 overall pick. He was one of four Raiders draft picks to recently sign his contract.

Munford had an outstanding career at Ohio State, playing in 58 career games and making 45 starts with the Buckeyes. He was a member of four teams that won a B1G title and made two College Football Playoff appearances.

Munford played in all 12 regular season games for the Buckeyes in 2021, helping the team to a 10-2 record. He was a two-time first-team All-B1G selection and earned All-American recognition, as well.

Now, Munford will begin his NFL career in Las Vegas, hoping to carve out a role for himself.
