Commanders Snag Sonny Styles, Boosting Defense

0:00On April 24th, Washington Commanders just snagged Ohio State Linebacker sunny styles, with the seventh overall pick in the NFL Draft Thursday night. This move targets their linebacker spot big time, bringing in a versatile defender who's ready to contribute right away. Their defense struggled hard last season, ranking 27th in points allowed per game, and dead last at 30 second in yards allowed. Style steps in as the exact fix they need to shore up that unit. Over four years with the Buckeyes, the 21-year-old played in 55 games and started 41 of them. He stepped up as co-captain his senior year in 2025, showing real leadership on and off the field. Styles dominated stats wise, leading Ohio State with 82 tackles and 46 solo stops that season. He earned first team All-America honors, and first team All-Big-10 recognition, proving he's elite talent. Commander Span's got a steel here, and with styles in the mix, that defense could climb the rankings fast next fall.
