The Ohio State Combine Takeover — Errol Marks Style
Ladies and gentlemen, draft nerds, Buckeye believers, and the loyal chaos crew of Joba and The Mouth…
Let’s correct the record and put some RESPECT on the official numbers.
Because what Ohio State Buckeyes football brought to Indianapolis wasn’t hype.
It was certified, timestamped, laser-timed violence.
🚀 Sonny Styles
Height/Weight: 6’5”, 244 lbs
40-yard dash: 4.46
Vertical Jump: 43.5 INCHES (Linebacker record)
Broad Jump: 11’2”
Let me say that again for the people in the back.
A 6’5”, 244-pound linebacker ran a 4.46 and jumped 43.5 inches.
That’s not normal.
That’s not “pretty good.”
That’s “did he glitch the system?” athleticism.
A 43.5-inch vertical is wide receiver behavior. That’s cornerback money. That’s “I block field goals for fun” territory.
And 11’2” in the broad? That’s lower-body explosion that screams “closing speed.”
If you’re a tight end watching that, you just texted your agent.

💨 Arvell Reese
40-yard dash: 4.46
(Did not participate in vertical or broad)
Now here’s what I love about Reese.
He clocked the SAME 4.46.
Same time. Same smoke.
But Reese didn’t need the jumps to make noise. His straight-line speed alone stamped him as one of the fastest linebackers in the entire group.
And on tape? He plays even faster.
🏋🏿♀️ Let’s Talk About That 43.5 Vertical
Styles’ 43.5-inch vertical is reportedly the highest ever recorded for a linebacker at the Combine.
You know what that means?
- Red zone coverage monster
- Disrupts passing lanes
- Blocks kicks
- High-points interceptions
That’s not just athleticism — that’s scheme flexibility.
We’ve seen this movie before.
The Combine Superhero Who Didn’t Become Superman
Vernon Gholston
Freak athlete. Elite tester. Monster build.
NFL sack total? Let’s just say New York fans still flinch.
Combine dominance doesn’t guarantee Sundays.
The Athletic Freak That Became a Star
Ryan Shazier
4.38 speed at linebacker. Unreal.
Before injuries, he was becoming elite.
When elite testing meets elite instincts — magic happens.
The Solid Tester Who Became a Steady Pro
A.J. Hawk
Not flashy at the Combine.
But reliable. Long career. Winning football player.

🧠 What Makes Styles Different?
Safety background — He moves like a DB.
Length + Explosion combo — 6’5” with a 43.5 vert? That’s cheat-code stuff.
Modern NFL prototype — Can cover tight ends, spy QBs, blitz, drop deep.
The league is built to spread you out.
Styles is built to ruin that plan.
💥 What Makes Reese Different?
Pure sideline-to-sideline speed — That 4.46 is real.
Violent downhill trigger — He doesn’t hesitate.
Play speed matches timed speed — That’s the key.
Reese isn’t just fast in shorts. He’s fast in chaos.
Based strictly on the numbers we saw:
🥇 Sonny Styles – The Unicorn
Record vertical. 4.46 speed. Prototype size.
🥈 Arvell Reese – The Missile
Equal 40 time. Straight-line juice.
After that? Everyone else is arguing for bronze.
Styles didn’t just help himself.
He probably made himself millions.
Reese didn’t just run.
He erased doubts.
And here’s the big difference between these two and past combine mirages:
Their tape backs it up.
That’s the scary part.
If you’re an NFL GM and you need speed on defense — this draft just handed you two Buckeye cheat codes.
And if one of the New York teams passes on that kind of athletic profile?
Don’t call into Joba and The Mouth unless you’re ready for the smoke.
Because when a 6’5”, 244-pound linebacker jumps 43.5 inches and runs 4.46…
You don’t overthink it.
You draft the alien.

My name is Errol Marks and I’d like to tell you why I believe I can be a major asset to your station. I’m from a small town in Long Island, NY and from a very young age I’ve always had a love for sports talk radio. Growing up, I would listen religiously to shows like Mike and the Mad Dog, Mike and Mike, and Imus in the Morning and studied what made those shows so great. I’ve made it my goal to be as influential as the hosts I grew up listening to, and with my knowledge of all major sports, enthusiastic and fearless personality, and my preparation skills, I know I can get to that level. This is an art and a medium that I’m passionate about and one that I feel can never be replaced.
What makes my story so unique goes beyond my 10+ years of experience in sports media. In addition to over ten years of creating and hosting sports talk radio shows, I created the World Wide Sports Radio Network - one of the first ever digital sports radio networks - in 2012. Since the network began, we have had some of the best content in digital sports media. We have six quality shows on our network covering all sports and sports betting. I’m currently hosting New York’s Sports Loud Mouth, and you can find that show and the rest of our great shows at https://worldwidesportsradio.com/.
Our network’s content and listenership has grown significantly year to year and, in the past year, we’ve achieved 3.6 million minutes listened on our audio stream, over 29k followers on tik tok, 500k viewed on YouTube, 1.7 million downloads on Apple Podcasts, and 906,917 plays on Spotify. While we are enjoying a continued increase in growth, I feel that we can take this to a new level and a new audience with your help.
My goal since the day I started is to become the greatest and most recognizable sports radio show host in the country. I can guarantee that nobody in this industry currently has my passion, personality or ability to shape the future of sports broadcasting and entertainment like I do. If given the opportunity, I hope to further share my story and many talents with you and your station.
