Reese is an imposing off-the-ball linebacker with outstanding instincts. He excels at reading his keys and swiftly filling gaps in the run game. His large frame and strength make it easy for him to shed blocks and consistently make impact plays. With his blend of athleticism and size, Reese could also transition to an EDGE or outside linebacker role at the next level, where he can effectively pressure the quarterback.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["278898"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66b679a2c6b93"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='278898' first='Jordan' last='Kenerson'] is set to join Minnesota State next year after recently committing to the D2 program. Last season at Hillcrest, Kenerson was a dominant force, wreaking havoc on opposing offenses. With a lightning-quick first step and relentless pass-rushing skills, he consistently overpowered tackles and put immense pressure on quarterbacks. His ability to disrupt plays in the backfield led to countless big moments for Hillcrest. Minnesota State is adding a dynamic EDGE rusher who will be a key asset to their defense.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["503737"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66b679a2c6bd5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='503737' first='Tyler' last='Fortis'] is another standout defender on this list, having recently committed to Eastern Illinois. Fortis was a familiar face on the camp circuit this offseason, competing at nearly every major event in the Midwest. He is an exceptional defensive lineman known for his relentless effort and passion for the game. His hard work did not go unnoticed, as the senior earned multiple offers this summer. Eastern Illinois is fortunate to add a player like Fortis to their defensive line room.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["832144"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66b679a2c6c14"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The University of St. Thomas secured a verbal commitment from [player_tooltip player_id='832144' first='Declan' last='Walsh'] in late July, a commitment they are surely excited about. Walsh is one of the top pass rushers in the state for the class of 2025. His explosive get-off allows him to time the snap perfectly and beat offensive tackles with his speed. Walsh's quick first step, combined with his active pass-rush moves, makes him a formidable threat. His ability to consistently pressure the quarterback adds significant value to St. Thomas's defense.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
