Sonny Styles Chosen as Sixth Block "O" Recipient |
Sonny Styles, a senior linebacker from Pickerington, Ohio, will wear the No. 0 during the Buckeyes' 2025 campaign after being selected by head coach Ryan Day and the entire coaching staff to receive the coveted Block "O" jersey. Ohio State's tradition of awarding the Block "O" is one of the program's most esteemed honors a player can receive and is given to the player that best exemplifies the values of Buckeye great Bill Willis — toughness, accountability and the highest of character.
Styles, Ohio State's second leading tackler in 2024, helped boost the Buckeyes defense to finish as the No. 1 defense overall last season. Styles was one of the first Buckeyes to announce his return for his final senior season and will be a candidate for the Butkus Award, which goes to the nation's top linebacker, and the Lott IMPACT Trophy this fall. |
