Alright @YouTheReader,
Today’s tune is Drake’s "U With Me?", which is the third song off Views.
The phone call in the intro is probably him doing a Marvin’s Room callback. The DMX and exes line is a bit funny…
…but on to the sports…
Building A Board
Sonny Styles, LB, Ohio State
Sonny Styles is from Pickerington, Ohio. His father, Lorenzo Styles Sr., played linebacker for the Buckeyes in the ‘90s and won a Super Bowl with the Rams in the NFL. He also has an older brother, Lorenzo Styles Jr., who just graduated from Ohio State after playing DB for Notre Dame and the Buckeyes. Sonny Styles reclassified in high school to join Ohio State as a true freshman at 17 years of age in ‘22, where he saw action in 12 games as a backup. In ‘23 as a sophomore, Styles earned a starting role at the safety position, totaling 53 tackles, 5 TFLs, and 2 sacks. The Buckeyes loved his hitting ability, so they moved him to linebacker in ‘24. As a junior at a new position, Styles finished with 100 tackles, 11 TFLs, 6 sacks, and 5 pass deflections. His ability to deliver punishing hits in the run game, combined with covering space from his days at safety, makes him one of the most versatile linebackers in College Football. Now a senior, Sonny Styles was named the Ohio State’s Sixth Block “O” recipient in 2025, which is given to the Buckeye with the most toughness, accountability, and the highest character on the team. Sonny Styles is the prototypical linebacker that NFL teams covet.
Sawyer Robertson, QB, Baylor
Sawyer Robertson is from Lubbock, Texas. His dad, Stan Robertson, was a 1st Round pick in the 1990 MLB Draft by the Montreal Expos. He is also a cousin of former Auburn QB Jarrett Stidham. A 4-star prospect out of Coronado High School, Robertson threw for 11,302 passing yards and 135 TDs playing Texas football. His first stop in college was at Mississippi State, where he redshirted and served as the team backup for two seasons. In ‘23, Robertson transferred to Baylor, where he saw action in six games and made four starts filling in for Blake Shapen. Robertson took over the Baylor QB1 job in ‘24, throwing for 3,071 yards and 28 TDs. This season, Sawyer Robertson currently leads the nation in completions (109), passing yards (1,320), and passing TDs (13). If he can continue to put up big numbers, he’ll definitely begin to rise up draft boards for next spring.
Bryce Lance, WR, North Dakota State
Bryce Lance is from Marshall, Minnesota. His older brother, Trey Lance, was a star QB for North Dakota State and was selected the #3 pick in the ‘21 NFL Draft. Bryce Lance set school records at Marshall HS as WR and safety in high school. As a redshirt freshman in ‘22, Lance served primarily on special teams. He caught his first career pass as a sophomore, but didn’t get many snaps on offense until ‘24. During his junior season, Lance broke out with 75 catches for 1,071 receiving yards and 17 TDs. His seventeen touchdowns are a new school record, earning Lance 2024 All-MVFC First Team recognition. After a quiet first two games this season, Bryce Lance scored his 1st TD in ‘25 on a 75-yard screen. At 6’3” with speed, Lance will try to become the first Bison drafted in the NFL since Christian Watson in ‘22.
Austin Barber, OT, Florida
Austin Barber is from Jacksonville, Florida. He attended Trinity Christian Academy, helping them win a State Championship in his senior season.

As a redshirt junior in ‘24, Barber made all 13 starts at Left Tackle for the Gators and graded out as one of the top tackles in the SEC, while only allowing 2 sacks all season. At 6’6” and 314 lbs., Austin Barber has NFL size to play on Sundays.

His 90.4 Pass Rush Grade on PFF College is elite and his 6’6” size will surely put him on NFL scouts’ radars.

Dajuan Wagner, as a freshman at Memphis in ‘02, averaged 21.2 points per game and was the 6th pick in the ‘02 NBA Draft, the year before the Cavs got LeBron.

Karter Knox’s older brother, Kevin Knox, played for Coach Calipari at Kentucky, won the 2018 SEC Freshman of the Year, and was drafted by the Knicks with the 9th Pick of the ‘18 NBA Draft. A McDonald’s All-American, Karter Knox finished high school at Overtime Elite. As a freshman with the Razorbacks last season, Knox averaged 8.3 points and 3.3 rebounds per game. He particularly came along in the 2nd half of the season as he averaged 10.4 points and shot 44% from beyond the arc in Arkansas’ final 18 games. His best game last season came against St. John’s in the NCAA Tournament, where Knox finished with 15 points, 6 boards, and 4 blocked shots. The versatile wing player has an opportunity to be one of the top returning sophomores in College Hoops this year and should continue to improve in Year 2.
Trevon Brazile, PF, Arkansas

Last season, Brazile mostly came off the bench for most of the year to average 6.8 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 1.1 blocks per game.
