Ohio State's Reese declares for 2026 NFL Draft

Ohio State linebacker Arvell Reese will enter the 2026 NFL Draft, he announced Thursday.

Reese has stood out at linebacker in the middle of the field, but he can also play as a full-time edge rusher at the NFL level. He's a potential top-five pick after earning All-American and All-Big Ten honors in 2025.

Reese, who helped Ohio State win the national title during the 2024 campaign, registered 69 tackles (10 for loss), 6.5 sacks, and two pass breakups in 14 appearances this season.

The 6-foot-4, 243-pound defender is projected to land with the Tennessee Titans at No. 4 overall in theScore's latest NFL mock draft.
