Former Ohio State Stars Sonny Styles, Arvell Reese Dominate NFL Combine

Ohio State defensive standouts Sonny Styles and Arvell Reese delivered standout performances at the NFL Scouting Combine, setting records and solidifying their status as top 2026 NFL Draft prospects.

Linebacker Sonny Styles shattered records at the position with a 11-foot, 2-inch broad jump and 43.5-inch vertical jump, while also clocking a sub-4.50 40-yard dash. Edge rusher Arvell Reese matched the speed with an official 4.46-second run, marking the best time for his position on Thursday.

Both players entered the event as premier 2026 draft candidates, with mock drafts projecting them in the top 12. Their elite combine showings are expected to further elevate their stock ahead of the NFL Draft.
