Aden Reeder is a high-motor, disruptive linebacker with pass-rush juice and Big Ten upside
Reeder enters Michigan as a three-star 2026 linebacker from Cincinnati St. Xavier, and his appeal is clear: he’s a productive, versatile defender who can play off the ball or rush the edge. In 2024, he logged 72 tackles, 14.5 tackles for loss, three sacks, three forced fumbles, and three pass breakups, and through the first eight games of 2025 he had 47 tackles, 9.0 tackles for loss, 6.0 sacks, and two pass breakups. Scouts consistently point to his length, athleticism, and ability to create negative plays, making him a strong fit for a defense that values aggression and versatility.[7][17][19]
