Arvell Reese and Sonny Styles solidified their stock as the NFL draft’s top two linebackers at the 2026 NFL Scouting Combine.
Both former Ohio State linebackers ran the 40-yard dash in official times of 4.46 seconds, tying for the fastest time among all linebackers at this year’s NFL Scouting Combine.

Yeah I have to admit now I’m a bit sad lol… that defense was just ridiculous.
I tend to think we could’ve cut 6 and 8 loose last year more.

This guy's a real jerk
Yup, I love Patricia and the horses that are still in the stable but anyone not expecting a noticeable drop off in defensive quality next year is kidding themselves.
Will likely still be a great to elite group nationally but 8 PPG allowed ain't happening again.
Really looking forward to see Sonny and Arvell on Sundays.

Joel Klatt deems projected top Ohio State draft pick a 'more physical' Micah Parsons

Joel Klatt deems projected top Ohio State draft pick a 'more physical' Micah Parsons
Joel Klatt sees the world in Ohio State Buckeyes linebacker Arvell Reese. Ahead of the 2026 NFL draft in a little over a month, Klatt described Reese to prospective front offices looking for a future star on the edge.What he described is one of the most can't-miss linebacker prospects in five years or more, and someone who can acquiesce to any scheme, having adjusted to an "OTTO" role on the strong side the past two years after playing mostly special teams as a freshman and getting into the sport during his high school years.
Klatt predicted a future Defensive Player of the Year award win for Reese, who he essentially implied had an even higher ceiling than the former Penn State Nittany Lion Parsons.
“He’s so inexperienced. See, for quarterbacks, inexperience is a huge red flag, because you gotta have it to succeed. These other positions, like a position where Arvell is playing, inexperience is actually a green flag, ‘cause you’re like ‘Whoa, whoa, whoa, there’s so much upside there that you can capture with a guy like Arvell Reese. So he’s gonna continue to get better, he’s just capturing the surface, and I think he’s gonna be a great player," Klatt told Kay Adams on the Up & Adams podcast.
“He’s a longer, more physical Micah Parsons, and he’s just scratching the surface. So, Arvell just started for one year at Ohio State. And during that year, he just scratched the surface of playing on the edge. So he was an off-the-ball linebacker. And then he became kind of a hybrid, off-the-ball, on-the-ball type of player on the edge. And so he can do all the things from a versatility standpoint that Micah can do, and yet he’s just scratching the surface, and he’s bigger than Micah, and he’s longer than Micah."
“Now I think for him, his next step in maturation is becoming like a great first-step pass-rusher. And I think he can do that, ‘cause he’s incredibly explosive. But Arvell is the kind of guy that can have a Micah Parsons impact. I think he can be, at some point in his career, in the discussion for Defensive Player of the Year because of that: the way he can play in space, off-the-ball, on-the-ball, and impact the game, I think, is pretty special.”
Arvell Reese strongly rumored to land with Jets at No. 2. That might not be so bad

I’d be a little skeptical of taking anyone if I were the Jets because, well I’m the Jets and I’m always wrong.
