Sonny Styles will sign with Ohio State on Wednesday in the early signing period, according to Tom VanHaaren.
Styles is considered the 13th player in the Class of 2022, the 1st safety and the 2nd player from Ohio.
Styles is a physical prototype with height and length who is already well into his physical development as a high school junior, according to Allen Trieu of the scouting service.
He said that there are questions about whether Styles will be more of a linebacker or a hybrid safety because of his size, but he has the ability to play safety at the next level.

Trier said that he will be a unique athlete at that spot who can still move around and play different roles, as he continues to grow towards being in the front seven. There are many possibilities for him because of a rare skill set and measurables.
Styles is following the same path as Ewers, who joined the Buckeyes last year.
Ewers will leave Columbus after one season and enter the transfer portal, which doesn't come as a huge surprise after freshman C.J. Stroud was a Heisman finalist this year and looks to have a vise grip on.
Ohio State's Class of 2022, which is ranked fourth in the country, is still loaded. Styles is one of two 5-star prospects in the class.
