Ohio State linebackers Sonny Styles and Arvell Reese left a vapor trail during on-field tests at the 2026 NFL Scouting Combine on Thursday in Indianapolis.
Styles, primarily a middle linebacker for the Buckeyes, and Reese, who said this week he's training to be a pass-rushing linebacker at the NFL level, turned in matching 40-yard dash times of 4.46 seconds.
Texas Tech pass rusher David Bailey ran a 4.50, the best among all defensive ends timed on Thursday. Bailey is projected as a top-10 pick. Bailey measured at 6-4, 251 pounds and had a 35-inch vertical.
Styles posted a 43.5-inch vertical -- Reese did not do vertical or broad-jump testing -- which is better than what safety Nick Emmanwori (Seahawks) recorded as a 2025 combine-best 43-inch vertical. Styles measured 6-5 and weighed 244 pounds. His broad jump was also the best recorded Thursday at Lucas Oil Stadium at just over 11 feet and he had a 7.09-second three-cone drill and 4.26-second short shuttle.
Most draft projections put Reese and Styles in the top 15 overall picks in April.
A projected second-rounder, Texas Tech linebacker Jacob Rodriguez had the top three-cone time -- 6.90 seconds -- and went 4.19 in the short shuttle among prospects at the position who participated Thursday.
