Bennet Reeder
About Bennet
Expert Analysis
Ian Guerin | Prep Redzone Scout
For a free safety who failed to pick off a pass, Reeder showed he could still have a major impact in the pass defense for the Cougars in other ways. For starters, he broke up six passes during his junior season. More importantly, his reaction time to underneath passes limited the opposing production on more than a handful of plays.
We mention that all first because it’s not even the best part of his game. That same pursuit ability he displayed in the passing game was even more vital as a run stopper. Reeder is tall enough to see the play developing before it got to the climax and get into position.
It’s why he finished with 77 tackles last fall, and it’s similarly why he was able to contribute on special teams (and we’re not just talking about his occasional kicking duties). He increased his own potential by doing things like serving as the outside gunner on kickoffs and on opposing field goals, where he blocked one as a junior.
