Desmond Reeves Desmond Reeves 6'1" | 215 lbs | LB St. Frances Academy | 2029 State MD showcased dominant physicality in one-on-one situations throughout the Duel in the DMV 7v7. At 6’1”, 215 pounds, he used his size and strength to reroute receivers and close space quickly in coverage matchups. His ability to mirror backs and tight ends in open space separated him from other linebackers in attendance. Reeves consistently won leverage battles, showing disciplined footwork and explosive closing speed when the ball was in the air. What stood out most was his competitive motor—he refused to lose reps and played every snap with urgency. For a 2029 prospect, his confidence and command in isolated matchups point to a very high ceiling.

Reeves is another St. Frances Academy 2029 prospect who spent time on the regional team this past season. His early offers include South Florida and Maryland. Reeves is another one who is patiently waiting his turn, but is certainly next up for the Panthers.

A player who is well put together already for a freshman, Desmond has the size at 6’1″ 215lbs with a lean muscled up frame. He will easily bulk up to 225+ over the years and pass the eye test easily. At MLB, he has nice overall athleticism. Quick to react, fast to the ball and can cover ground. Desmond also has the physicality in his game to be a top prospect. He comes down hill, can take on blockers and will light up ball carriers on contact. Showing a high football IQ, he processes and identifies plays quickly allowing him to get the his spots to make the play.

Desmond currently has two offers from Maryland, and picking up one from USF today. He will be a prospect to get on plenty of colleges boards this year with the upside to become a National Recruit.

In 2025 LB was selected to the UA Next 2025 All-American Game, representing Team Unstoppable.

Reeves’ ability shines best facing against the run game, as he has a natural instinct to sift through blockers, either by going around them, or through them to find his way into the backfield. And when he gets there watch out, as he delivers bone crushing hits that flatten any ball carrier in his sights.

Reeves recently received an offer from The University of Maryland.

The Virginia prospect has all the makings of a very special prospect for the 2029 class, already standing 5-foot-11 and 175 pounds on the dot. The combination of speed, size and smarts made him a favorite of mine at the camp. During 1-on-1 drills he showed an advanced knowledge of defending the pass and knowing when/how to get physical as the backs get in/out of their breaks. Right now he’s somewhere in between an inside linebacker and outside linebacker, with the ability to play both at this level. Showed off very good straight-line speed with a 5.4 in the forty, finishing third among linebackers. However, to reach his potential, he needs to work on his change of direction quickness after an 8.31 in the L Drill, which was in the bottom two in the position group. That said, the positives far outweigh the negatives. He’s going to be a good one.
