2027 Huntington WR Andreas Reese Andreas Reese 5'9" | 160 lbs | WR/DB Huntington | 2027 State WV brings a different gear to the field that shows up right away. Reese is a smaller slot target, but his burst and acceleration make him tough to stay in front of, especially off the line, where he gets into routes quickly. He separates naturally with his speed, and once the ball is in his hands, Reese can hit another level and turn short catches into chunk plays. Defenses have to account for him every snap because he can stress them vertically or win underneath and still create explosive yards after the catch.

Another aspect of Reese’s playstyle that caught my attention was his ability to get physical in the backfield and elevate off the ground to make the grab.
