Ohio State Stars Sonny Styles, Arvell Reese Excel at Combine

Former Ohio State stars Sonny Styles and Arvell Reese dominated the NFL Scouting Combine, setting records in the vertical jump and 40-yard dash.

Linebacker Sonny Styles and edge rusher Arvell Reese showcased elite athleticism during Thursday's events. Styles set a new combine record for linebackers with an 11-foot, 2-inch broad jump and a 43.5-inch vertical, while running a 4.46-second 40-yard dash. Reese also impressed, setting the best mark for edge rushers with an official 4.46 time.

These performances solidify their status as top prospects for the 2026 NFL Draft. Both players were projected in the top 12 by analysts, with mock drafts projecting the Cowboys taking Styles at No. 12 and the Commanders selecting Reese at No. 7.
