Half of the teams picking in the top 12 of the 2026 NFL draft have brought former Ohio State linebacker Arvell Reese in for pre-draft visits.
According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo, Reese has visited the New York Jets (who hold the No. 2 overall pick), Arizona Cardinals (No. 3), Tennessee Titans (No. 4), New York Giants (No. 5), Kansas City Chiefs (No. 9) and Dallas Cowboys (No. 12).

With four of the top five teams in the selection order showing interest, Reese is widely projected to be a top-five pick in the 2026 NFL draft, which begins April 23. A consensus All-American linebacker for the Buckeyes in 2025, Reese is expected to play primarily as an edge rusher in the NFL.
