The Styles Brothers, Ohio State
Sonny and Lorenzo Styles left the world wondering if they were truly brothers or just pulled from the same lab together. Their freakish athletic genes were on full display in Indianapolis.
Sonny, the Ohio State safety turned linebacker, was already in the conversion of being a first-round pick. The 2025 First-Team All-American possess elite size at linebacker standing at 6-foot-5, 244 pounds. And with those measurables, he proceeded to rack up the best 40-yard dash (4.46 seconds), vertical jump (43’50”) and broad jump (11’2″).
He recorded the second-highest vertical jump by a linebacker at the Combine since 2003 and tied for highest by any player 6-foot-4 or taller at the Combine since 2003. The showing was so stellar, it’s made him leap (pun intended) into top five overall conversations.
His older brother Lorenzo ran the second-fastest 40-yard dash speed of any participant with a 4.27. He was a wide receiver at Notre Dame before transferring to Ohio State and switching to cornerback. In his last two seasons with the Buckeyes, Lorenzo totaled seven pass deflections.
The brothers’ athleticism makes sense considering their father, Lorenzo Styles Sr., played linebacker for six seasons with the Atlanta Falcons and St. Louis Rams, winning Super Bowl XXXIV with the latter.
