Ohio State’s pair of linebacker prospects lit up the NFL Combine on Feb. 25.

Sonny Styles and Arvell Reese were the leaders in the middle of the Buckeyes defense. Styles set the Combine on fire with a historic workout, and while Reese did not test in all the events, he matched Styles’ time in the 40-yard dash. Their combined performances and stuffed stat sheets make both players enticing prospects and potential top-10 draft picks.
