PLAYSTYLE & SCHEME FIT

Reese’s combination of size, length and speed gives him exceptional athleticism for the linebacker position. He shows the ability to operate as a downhill run‑threat, a blitzer off the edge, and drop into coverage with real range. His play‑diagnosis has noticeably improved, and his work ethic indicates he can refine the finer points of his game. In a modern defensive scheme—particularly one that uses hybrid “joker” or “edge/linebacker” roles or implements multiple fronts—he fits very well as a multi‑role off‑ball linebacker who can blitz, cover TEs or backs, and hold up in run fits. At the next level, he projects as an immediate contributor, with starter upside early given his traits.

CEILING GRADE ANALYSIS

Near Elite (70-74)
A high-caliber prospect who is expected to become a significant contributor by Year 2. These players have outstanding physical tools and strong football IQ, with only minor flaws in their game. They demonstrate consistency at a high level and project as future Pro Bowl-caliber players if properly developed.
