developmental Duke edge defender with early special-teams value
Reks is a **strong-side defensive end** whose appeal is more about projectable frame and role fit than proven college production; Duke’s roster bio shows he played in **five games in 2008**, logged **three tackles on 24 snaps**, and earned the program’s **Mike Suglia Award** for work ethic/teammate value. His differentiators are the kind coaches like: physicality, versatility for a bigger edge role, and signs of buy-in to the grind. If you need an immediate stat-stuffer, he’s not that; if you want a developmental defender who can bring edge-setting toughness and special-teams reliability, he’s a sensible fit.[1][4][5]
