Just hours before the Buckeyes took on Purdue on Saturday, they landed their man as in-state five-star safety Sonny Styles announced his verbal commitment to Ohio State.
Styles has long been identified as an impact player at the next level, and saw his recruitment blow up his sophomore year.
The son of former Ohio State linebacker Lorenzo Styles, Sonny will now follow in his father's footsteps and don the Scarlet and Grey. Styles was offered by the Buckeyes in August of 2020, and decided to become a Buckeye around a year and a half later.
