Sonny Styles remembers what it was like to have strong leadership around him at Ohio State early in his collegiate career.
When a particular practice didn’t go as he hoped, he’d remember Jack Sawyer or Kamryn Babb putting an arm around him and checking on him. He appreciated the gesture, so with his fourth season approaching at Ohio State, he’s making it a point to do what others did for him and mentoring younger players in OSU’s linebacker room and on defense.
“I know that’s what you need sometimes,” Styles said Thursday about the younger players having a friendly ear to listen to.
