Moving on to NFL
Reese announced Thursday that he will forgo his remaining eligibility at Ohio State to enter the 2026 NFL Draft, Jake Trotter of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
A 6-foot-4, 243-pound edge rusher, Reese projects as a likely top-10 and potential top-five selection in the draft. During his junior season in 2025, Reese was a consensus All-American and the heart of an Ohio State defense that allowed just 9.3 points per game. He finished with 69 tackles, 6.5 sacks and two pass breakups over his 14 appearances for Ohio State.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Likely to be second pick in draft
Reese is the player the Jets might feel is the best for them with the second overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, Rich Cimini of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Linebacker Sonny Styles and edge rusher David Bailey are also said to be under consideration, but Reese offers both elite athletic upside and versatility as a linebacker who can play both inside and outside, which would match the flexible 3-4 scheme coach Aaron Glenn has indicated the Jets will be using next season. Glenn also compared Reese to Danielle Hunter, who didn't produce big sack numbers in college at LSU but has become one of the premiere pass rushers in the NFL during his career.
