Arvell Reese

Ohio State linebacker Arvell Reese has emerged as a breakout star in 2025, positioning himself as a candidate for the No. 1 overall selection in the 2026 NFL Draft. With comparisons to Micah Parsons and Abdul Carter, Reese's versatility and impact have vaulted him to No. 2 on draft boards behind Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza. In a class lacking a clear top quarterback, his selection could highlight the value of non-QB picks at the top.
