RD 1 | PK #7 - Commanders: Sonny Styles LB, Ohio St. Styles is one of just two prospects in the 2026 class to score 90+ across all three NGS dimensions (athleticism, production and overall). The other was third-overall pick RB Jeremiyah Love. @Commanders | @OhioStateFB

goodnight, dmv

This is watchdog journalism

The #Commanders stick at No. 7 and take a mock draft favorite: #OSU LB Sonny Styles. Their target throughout the process.

Washington's first round pick Sonny Styles tells @JPFinlayNBCS when he woke up, he felt like he was going to be a Commander: "It was a gut feeling, I think it was god, I think it was the people in the building... it just felt like it was meant to be" #Commanders #RaiseHail

#Commanders defense this offseason: Hired DC Daronte Jones Drafted LB Sonny Styles Added DE Odafe Oweh Added DE K’Lavon Chaisson Added LB Leo Chenal Added S Nick Cross Added DT Tim Settle Added CB Amik Robertson Added DL Charles Omenihu

The #Commanders are selecting Ohio State LB Sonny Styles with the No. 7 overall pick. A massive addition to Dan Quinn's defense -- and a dream come true for him to fall to No. 7.

that feeling was right

.@Commanders @OhioStateFB @sonnystyles_ Sonny is the new MIKE lber...the Commanders found their new Commander. #BaldysBreakdowns

Hail yeah 😤 @SeatGeek | #RaiseHail

"I think he is going to be a superstar in the league" 🤩 @MoveTheSticks | @kurt13warner

It's always Sonny in Washington! Here is my one on one interview with Sonny Styles, the newest member of the Washington Commanders. Hopefully plenty of "Sonny" skies ahead across the DMV region.

what DQ said

Duo of Sonny Styles and Leo Chenal are going to open some eyes in DC. Throw in the versatility of Frankie Luvu & and speed of Jordan Magee and Washington has quickly found themselves with a whole lot of pop at the second level.

Sonny Styles is an off-ball LB that hits like an edge and runs like a safety at 6’4, 245 lbs. He immediately becomes the green dot in Washington that they’ve lacked since London Fletcher. They got their guy.

I think you meant most athletic trio at lb

LB Sonny Styles to Washington. A guy they really, really liked (clearly) but wasn't sure if he'd make it to 7.

Sonny Styles: "I told coachQuinn on the phone before I left the visit, 'Hopefully I'll be backsoon.' When we were on the phone I was like, 'Coach, I told you.'"

Sonny Styles: I told my whole family this morning, 'I'm going to be a Commander.' No one really thought so. I'm super excited. I love this organization. I told one of my teammates, "What was different about Washington?' I said, 'The people in the building.'"

Style said Washington could use him inside or outside. He played in the middle at Ohio State. His speed and smarts enables him to move around.
