COMBINE CONFIDENTIAL: LINEBACKERS

Welcome to the March 9, 2026 edition of the All Access Football Newsletter.

One could state a case that the linebacker Class of 2026 could produce more next level starters than any pother group in this year’s draft. Ohio State standouts Arvell Reese and Sonny Styles put on a clinic for NFL scouts in attendance at the combine. There is no doubt that the two Buckeyes backers will hear their name called amongst the first few selections of the NFL Draft.

However, there seems to be a real sweet spot to be had on Day 2, where several prospects are expected to slide and could provide premium value. It’s a long list of talent and we did our best to provide you the lowdown from Indianapolis below, featuring special guest contributor Ryan Booher. Be sure to check back tomorrow, as we conclude our ‘Combine Confidential’ series with a look at the defensive backs and don’t forget to reserve your copy of the Official 2026 NFL Draft Bible today.
