Had Sonny Styles remained in his original recruiting class and joined Ohio State as a midyear enrollee, he’d just be beginning his career as a Buckeye this month. Instead, Styles already has a full season as a Buckeye under his belt.
Originally a member of the class of 2023, Styles opted to forgo his senior year at Pickerington Central High School and reclassify into the 2022 class, allowing him to enroll at Ohio State last summer. It’s a decision he’s glad he made.
“I've been telling people all the time, I'm glad I came early,” Styles told Eleven Warriors in an interview at Ohio State’s media day before the Peach Bowl.
