Jett Reese brings pro-style size and early production to EIU’s linebacker room
Reese has the look of a modern linebacker at **6-2/6-4 and 235 pounds**, and Eastern Illinois lists him as a 2026 roster linebacker after he finished a season with **66 tackles, one sack and two tackles for loss**. That production suggests a physical, active defender who can finish plays and handle run support, while his recruiting profile and camp notes point to a player with upside rather than just a stat-line floor. He’s a good fit if your team wants a linebacker with size, toughness and developmental ceiling.
