Reliable, Academic-Minded TE with Limited College Production at Akron
In the 2018 season, Brian Reinke played in 11 games for Akron and finished with 3 catches for 31 yards and 1 touchdown, so the stat line is modest, but the bigger takeaway is his profile as a dependable, high-character tight end who earned Academic All-MAC honors and made the Dean’s List. He doesn’t jump off the page as a volume pass-catcher, but he brings work ethic, accountability, and a team-first presence that coaches value. If you’re looking for a polished, glue-guy TE rather than a flashy mismatch weapon, Reinke fits that mold.
