Styles Joins Commanders, Boosts Defense

0:00On April 24th, Washington commanders landed linebacker styles with the seventh overall pick in the 2026 NFL draft. The 21-year-old Ohio State star was thrilled, calling the team his top choice and wasting no time thanking hit coach Dan Quinn and General. Manager Adam Peters, earlier this week, styles visited Washington and even told Quinn he hoped to return soon. Now that he's officially a commander, he's pumped to hit the field and rep the franchise. Fans are buzzing because styles feels a huge gap on defense. It's rare to see players this eager to join Washington, showing how much the organization has turned things around under new leadership. On the field, styles dominated for the Buckeyes last season. In 14 games during 2025, he racked up 82 tackles, including six and a half for loss, plus three past afflictions, and n. Interception, a forced fumble, and a sack. His elite speed, size, and non-stop motor helped Ohio State post the nation's stingiest defense at just 9.3 points allowed per game.
