Needs Work

• Hip flexibility

Reese looks like a great fit at SAM in Don Brown’s system. His film shows that he plays bigger than he is (he’s got good height at 6’2, but will need to add at least 30 pounds), displays good instincts, can get to the passer, and make big hits. He displays good instincts in coverage as well, but a lack of hip flexibility prevents him from reaching his ceiling in that regard. He’s still got two more years of high school ball to develop, though, so I think he’s going to be a very nice player by the time he gets to campus in the fall of 2018.
