NFL Combine Risers and Fallers: Sonny Styles Steals the Show
The Ohio State star turned heads with his standout performance on Thursday, improving his draft stock in the process.
Music played, drills progressed and a general sense of mundane overtook the air Thursday night at Lucas Oil Stadium.
Until Sonny Styles bent his knees, dropped his hips and leapt toward the rafters—and 43 ½ inches later, sent his onlooking peers into an eruption so loud, so unmistakable, it turned heads from the field to the sideline.
Styles delivered the best vertical jump of any player 6' 4" or taller and 240 pounds or heavier since 2003, his finest achievement on a day full of them. The Ohio State linebacker won the weigh-in, measuring 6' 5" at 244 pounds, and notched an 11’ 2” broad jump to pair with a 4.46 40-yard dash, tied with teammate Arvell Reese for the fastest of the day.
Thursday belonged to Styles, who’s in position to be a mid-first round pick in April. But several additional linebackers and defensive linemen impressed alongside him, while a few others did little to help their stock in Indianapolis.
Styles aside, here’s who’s rising and falling from the front seven after the NFL scouting combine’s opening night.

Ohio State @ Iowa, Wednesday Feb. 25, 9pm EST, BTN

FWIW, ESPN Jeff Borzello writer has reported that ISU coach T. J. Otzelberger as someone Ohio State might be interested in (should Diebler ever be fired).
The 2026 men's college basketball coaching carousel guide
The schools (Oklahoma? Syracuse?), names (Will Wade? Porter Moser? Josh Schertz?) and buzz we're tracking.
Ohio State Buckeyes
It's only two years into Jake Diebler's tenure in Columbus, but the Buckeyes are squarely on the cutline for the NCAA tournament. If they don't hear their name on Selection Sunday, that will be two years without a tournament appearance for Diebler, four years for the program as a whole. The latest word out of Columbus is that he's probably safe for another season, but that could depend on what happens over the next three weeks. The school would be on the hook for just over $3 million.
T.J. Otzelberger, Iowa State
Otzelberger has established himself as one of the elite coaches in college basketball, and he signed a new contract in December 2024 with a restructured buyout that makes him potentially attainable. If Ohio State were to open, there's reason to believe the Buckeyes would look to gauge Otzelberger's interest. That said, he's happy in Ames, with no signs of him itching to leave, and he has a great relationship with Cyclones athletic director Jamie Pollard.
