With the 2026 NFL draft rapidly approaching, a Dallas Cowboys coach is getting a closer look at one of the draft's elite prospects, Ohio State linebacker Arvell Reese.
One player the Dallas Cowboys should have an eye on in the first round of the 2026 NFL draft is Ohio State linebacker Arvell Reese. Reese is widely considered one of the best prospects in the 2026 NFL draft, which also means the Cowboys would almost certainly have to trade up from No.
12 overall to get him. Reese was an elite talent as an off-ball linebacker in college, but there are no shortage of analysts who believe he will play along the edge in the NFL. "Teams have pretty much been asking me what I want to do and see where my mind was at. I've been telling them I think I'm an outside linebacker/edge," he said. "I haven't even scratched the surface with really what I can do pass rushing." Either way, Reese would be a fit for the Cowboys, who have needs at both inside linebacker and edge rusher going into the draft.Ohio State Buckeyes linebacker Arvell Reese. | Samantha Madar/Columbus Dispatch / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images With the draft approaching next month, Reese is putting in some extra work to fine tune his pass-rushing skills.Safe to say, there are few people on this planet better equipped to help Reese improve his skills than Jordan, who will also be getting an up-close-and-personal look at the Ohio State product for the Cowboys.Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones. | Kevin Jairaj-Imagn Images Anything is possible in the NFL, but it would be surprising if the Cowboys could pull it off, first and foremost because it would be very expensive to move up to a spot where Reese can be picked. Even if Reese makes it past the New York Jets at No. 2, something we're very skeptical of, there are still a slew of teams behind Gang Green that could draft him.Mike Moraitis is a freelance writer who has covered the NFL for major outlets such as Sports Illustrated and The Sporting News.
