Styles & Reese Butkus/Lombardi Semifinalists
Ohio State senior captain Sonny Styles and junior Arvell Reese have been named today as semifinalists for the both the Butkus Award and the Lombardi Award. The duo are part of a 12-team group of semifinalists announced by the Butkus Foundation and the only teammates on the list.

Styles is second on the team to Reese in tackles with 45 and is on his way to a second consecutive 100-tackle season, which would be a first by a Buckeye in 10 years (Raekwon McMillan in 2015-16). Styles also has 2.5 tackles for loss, two quarterback hurries and one interception, pass break-up and forced fumble.
