We are all waiting to see what Alistair Reese Alistair Reese 6'2" | 215 lbs | DL/LB Cheltenham | 2026 State PA has in store. Each ranking update, (three in a row), has me looking back to Reese’s Hudl in hopes there is something substantial to work with. One minute’s worth of sophomore tape can’t justify a ranking, one minute of career highlights as an incoming junior won’t cut it either. Reese’s size certainly intrigues, standing at 6’3, 218 pounds. We at PRZ hope Reese can put together something worth watching, so we can accurately represent him on our site. For now, Reese stays on our WL. Here’s what Pat Weider Pat Weider 6'3" | 185 lbs | WR/DB Muhlenberg | 2025 PA had to say in a recent post.
Allistair Reese is a talented defensive player who played as a defensive end last year for Cheltenham. As a defensive end, he showed several elite skills. He does a good job of getting his hands on offensive tackles and ripping through them. He shows a good ability to keep content and then read the play. He is good at staying home in the run game and making the tackle when it comes his way. Reese is excellent at pass rush. He has the speed and athleticism to chase plays all over the field. Reese could see the field as a linebacker next season or he could be used still as a defensive end. In either place, he will be a good player.

The theme continues, here’s another prospect full of promise who hasn’t been active on social media despite finishing two years of his HS career over at Cheltenham. 4.4 GPA, 6’3, 220 pounds, is a swimmer (Twitter Bio), Alistair Reese Alistair Reese 6'2" | 215 lbs | DL/LB Cheltenham | 2026 State PA (#97) looked like a man among boys at this event. Reese stuck out like a sore thumb, I mean that in the best of ways. Broad shoulders, a frame carrying muscles in the right places, this backer prospect passes the eye test. Passing the eye test can draw the right attention, yet tape is what is going to get Reese recruited, right now, he doesn’t have much. Huge junior year that could have Reese flying up boards at the next level. Cheltenham has stationed a ton of Division 1 prospects, particularly inside the front-seven. Tough to carve out a real role with elite competition ahead of you, we’ll see if things change this coming Fall.
