Ohio State made big waves throughout the state of Ohio and nationwide in recruiting circles by landing a commitment from 2023 linebacker/safety Alex “Sonny” Styles on Saturday.
The five-star in-state standout is the seventh-ranked player and the top-rated safety in his class per 247Sports’ composite rankings, and he comes from Ohio State bloodlines. His father, Lorenzo Styles, was a standout linebacker for the Buckeyes from 1992-94.
Lorenzo, who is currently the defensive backs coach at Pickerington Central High School, and his wife Laverna, Styles’ mother, took some time to answer a few questions from Eleven Warriors on Wednesday evening, four days after their son committed to Ohio State and two days before Styles and Pickerington Central will play Upper Arlington in a regional final of the Ohio high school playoffs on Friday.
