The Cincinnati Bengals hosted a significant day of visits with defensive prospects, including Ohio State linebacker Sonny Styles, cornerback Lorenzo Styles Jr., and Miami edge rusher Akheem Mesidor, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network.
The Bengals are currently evaluating several defensive players as part of their pre-draft process. Sonny Styles and Lorenzo Styles Jr., who are brothers, both played for Ohio State. Sonny Styles played multiple roles in the Buckeyes' defense, while Lorenzo Styles Jr. transitioned to cornerback after starting his collegiate career as a wide receiver at Notre Dame. Akheem Mesidor joins the group of visitors following his tenure at Miami, where he served as a primary edge rusher for the Hurricanes.
These visits come as the Bengals look to bolster their defensive unit for the upcoming season. The team has not yet announced any official signings or further moves following these meetings. The organization continues to meet with various prospects to finalize their scouting reports ahead of the draft.
