SCOUT NOTEBOOK: ARVELL REESE BOUND FOR GREATNESS

In this week’s edition of the All Access Football Scout Notebook, the NFL Draft Bible scouting department combs the country from coast-to-coast to highlight some of the premier players for the upcoming 2026 NFL Draft in Pittsburgh.

Ohio State linebacker Arvell Reese is quickly establishing himself as a blue-chip prospect with top ten potential due to his versatile skill-set as a dominant off-ball linebacker, combined with a natural pass-rush prowess, which makes him a projected top ten overall prospect.

Reese tops the list of our players outlined below, which features a handful of draftable offensive linemen, including a projected Day 1 prospect at offensive guard, plus a ‘freakish’ running back who is turning heads both on the field and in the weight room, a speedy wideout who can take the top off any defense and numerous names that demand the attention of NFL decision-makers.

In total, you will find a baker’s dozen of scouting reports, with boots on the ground analysis provided by our front office department.

For NFL teams in seek of up-and-coming pro evaluators please take note of our staff: Dom Ambrose, Lauren Davidov, Will Donoghue, Ryan Paglia and Jarrett Reigel.
