Ohio State Stars Styles, Reese Dominate NFL Combine

Former Ohio State linebacker Sonny Styles and edge rusher Arvell Reese showcased elite athleticism at the NFL Scouting Combine, setting records in jumping and sprinting drills.

Styles set a new combine record for linebackers with a 43.5-inch vertical jump and 11-foot, 2-inch broad jump, while running a sub-4.50 40-yard dash. Edge rusher Arvell Reese matched the performance, posting an official 4.46-second 40 time and setting the best mark for his position.

Both players are considered top prospects in the 2026 NFL Draft class, with mock drafts projecting them in the first round. Their impressive performances are likely to bolster their stock further ahead of the upcoming draft.
