Linebacker Versatility, Titans Tactics Highlight NFL Combine Day 2

Day 2 of the NFL Combine spotlighted versatile defenders—Rueben Bain Jr., Arvell Reese, Sonny Styles, and David Bailey—emphasizing edge rusher vs. off-ball linebacker versatility and wide-ranging schemes, with Ohio State's Patricia credited for boosting the Buckeyes' defense. Bain said Titans QB Ward has been pushing for him and had a formal interview with Tennessee, while Reese and Styles outlined multi-role capabilities and drew comp to Micah Parsons and Jamie Collins; Reese noted he’d like outside linebacker/edge work. Alabama's Justin Jefferson discussed speed and his martial-arts background ahead of the 40. Mike Vrabel offered unscripted interviewing tips from the podium, and Titans GM Mike Borgonzi, plus Ravens coordinators Monken and Macdonald, were in attendance. The takeaway: teams chase versatile, pass-rush-minded linebackers; Vrabel prefers flowing conversation over scripted questions.

OSU Buildings May Lose Wexner Name as ONA Demands Action

The Ohio Nurses Association is pressuring Ohio State University to remove Les Wexner’s name from campus buildings, citing a newly unredacted 2019 FBI document that lists him as a “co-conspirator” in Jeffrey Epstein’s case. OSU has a naming-review procedure and is considering related requests, with ONA seeking a decision before the new University Hospital opens. Wexner has denied wrongdoing in relation to Epstein, saying he was duped and that he has since cut ties with Epstein. The university’s response to the call for removal has not been disclosed publicly.

Late defense, deep bench lift Virginia past Ohio State in Nashville

Virginia erased an early 11-point deficit, climbed back on a first-half run, then closed the game with a 12-2 surge and a late defensive stop to beat Ohio State 70-66 in Nashville. The win featured 28 points from the bench, a strong finish on defense in the final minutes, and another understated scoring night from Thijs De Ridder, who has struggled recently. UVA improves to 22-3 and now heads into a demanding ACC stretch, with questions lingering about De Ridder’s scoring but relief in the win and the team’s late-game resilience.
