“I’ll definitely have to be an adult more,” Reese said when asked about how his preparation will change moving into college. “Because I do feel like I still have some immaturities, but I think it is going to be great. I will have to push myself in the weight room, I need to get bigger before I get there.”

“My teammates and definitely coach Lenhardt helped me along throughout school,” Reese claimed. “My family, my basketball teammates, and my football teammates all deserve thanks for helping me along as well.”
