Report:  According to his 247Sports profile, he totaled 34 tackles including 6 TFL and a pair of sacks last year.  He was also a second team all-district performer in 2012.  He committed to Kansas State back in mid-April.

As you can tell, Reese already has nice size for a defensive end.  Perhaps Reese's greatest asset is his run defense.  He does an excellent job of clogging up holes and shedding blocks to make tackles near the line of scrimmage.  He controls the line so well that he also plays a lot of DT with James Madison.  I have to wonder if K-State may try to really bulk him up and eventually put him at tackle, because he is that good at stopping the run.  It also seems that Reese is an intelligent player and does a nice job reading blocking schemes.  He isn't an elite athlete and his pass defense is still developing, but as mentioned, he's very solid at the line of scrimmage.
