North Dakota’s hard-hitting DB who once set the standard
Cole Reyes is best remembered as a tone-setting playmaker for North Dakota, and in the 2016 season he was named Big Sky Defensive Player of the Year after posting 58 tackles, 5 tackles for loss, 3 interceptions, and 2 forced fumbles. Reliable reports described him as a gritty, hard-hitting safety who could flip games with takeaways and back-end physicality—exactly the kind of defender coaches love when they want urgency, toughness, and leadership. If you value instinct, violence at the point of contact, and proven high-level production, he fits the bill.
