LB Arvell Reese (National Champion)



“He's a monster,” Ohio State safety Jaylen McClain said on Wednesday. “He’s just physically imposing and does what he looks like he's going to do.”

“Great start for him, but he's a guy who practices that way,” Day said. “I don't think anybody who saw him practice throughout the month of August was surprised with the production that he had. And we're going to continue to need him. He's going to be a big part of our defense this season.”



“It was fun,” Reese said. “Being in a bunch of different spots was fun out there.”

FINDING HIS VOICE. Arvell Reese has been one of Ohio State’s standouts through three games, collecting a team-best 20 tackles with two sacks and two pass breakups.

As Reese continues to shine for Ohio State, he also continues to find his voice for the Buckeyes.

“When you make plays on the field, there’s just instant credibility. Arvell is a great example,” Ryan Day said Thursday. “Arvell may not have as much of a voice or do as much talking as some of the other guys, but when he speaks, people listen. Jeremiah is a little bit that way.”


Day said having leaders like Reese and Smith is a luxury, especially when the Buckeyes have leaders who speak up regularly like captains Sonny Styles, Caleb Downs, Brandon Inniss and Austin Siereveld.

“When these guys are some of your hardest workers day in and day out, you know, you grab a young player and you say, ‘You see how he’s going about his business? You see him running around at night? No, he’s not doing any of that stuff. Why? Because he knows what’s important.’ That’s the example that’s been set for a long time here at Ohio State,” Day said. “But these guys are understanding that and hopefully taking it to the next level.”

Man, this is good stuff. That kind of leadership and accountability is the difference between a team and a program!
