Reese has electric speed, he is phonebooth quick with the ability to shift gears quickly and his crisp route running enables him to win early putting pressure on defenders at the snap. Get the ball in his hands and let him work. He is shifty in space, he has a burst to create separation and his ability to make defenders miss in the open field makes him a weapon offensively. He won reps at the Select 50 Showcase, showing his agility and twitchyness in space to beat defenders off the ball. Reese is a big play threat who can turn a short pass into a big play in a heartbeat. Look for Reese to get plenty of touches for Guyer in 2024 and early offers from UNLV, as well as North Texas, show that college coaches have seen his big play potential.

Erick “DJ” Reese is another running back to mention coming out of this Prep Next South Camp. Erick is two-sport athlete who competes at a high level in football as well as basketball. As a Strike Middle School product, Erick is another camp standout that showed out in this group and competed with some of the best in this class. Standing at 5’9, Erick has already begun to show spurts of ability similar to some big name NFL stars with his speed and agili. With Erick trending towards the top-half of the camps 40 and shuttle times, he is already proving that he is going to be one of the more explosive athletes in this class. The most exciting thing about his potential is that this camp is not the only time that Eric has shined, he has also had the chance to compete in the Under Armor Next All-American bowl and put up some impressive stats and turned some heads in the process. Erick is a rare breed who can do anything and everything on the gridiron and it won’t be long until he is one of the most sought-after athletes in the country. I wouldn’t be surprised to see Erick climb to the top of recruiting boards in both football and basketball down the road.

Any time an opposing team has to line up and worry about multiple elite athletes a single team, it makes for a tough matchup. Like Bryan Porter Bryan Porter 5'11" | 180 lbs | WR Bergen Catholic | 2027 State NJ listed above, Erick DJ Reese Erick DJ Reese 5'8" | 150 lbs | WR Guyer | 2027 State TX takes the field for Strike Middle School in Little Elm, Texas with some of the top 2027 prospects in the greater Dallas area. Reese is a 5-foot-9 speedster that can create after that catch among the best in the country at this point. It helps having a Quarterback like Tre Williams Tre Williams 6'0" | 185 lbs | QB Aledo | 2027 State TX and freaky threats such as 6-foot-4 Zane Rowe Zane Rowe 6'5" | 240 lbs | DL Guyer | 2027 State TX and 6-foot-3 Taelyn Mayo Taelyn Mayo 6'4" | 180 lbs | DB Lewisville | 2027 State TX to give a burner like Reese some space. Tyreek Hill of the Miami Dolphins is one of the best players in the world right now…and I’m not saying Reese is that; But what I am saying, is that Reese plays a very similar style to Hill. He can get vertical and beat a lot of Defensive Backs off the line but his true ability is felt on underneath and shorter routes, which allow him to catch and run.
