Sonny Styles, the player the Buckeyes went all-in on in a dog fight with the Notre Dame Fighting (and losing) Irish. It was a recruiting win many Buckeye fans were nervous would never occur — one that left many fans in Columbus crossing their fingers he would follow in his fathers legacy instead of heading to South Bend with his brother. When the dust settled, and early signing day had passed, Styles was committed and signed to be a Buckeye.
His father is Buckeye legacy Lorenzo Styles, who played linebacker for the Buckeyes from 1991-1994 and also went along to win a Super Bowl with the Rams.
