Reese Downey brings instant shooting juice to FDU’s backcourt
In the 2025-26 season, freshman guard Reese Downey has quickly carved out a role at FDU by spacing the floor and flashing confident shot-making, including a strong debut with two threes and six points against Purdue.[1][2] Her high-school résumé was loud—Absegami’s all-time leading scorer with 2,092 points and multiple South Jersey player-of-the-year honors—so the appeal is obvious: a proven scorer with a quick release and real perimeter gravity.[1] She’s still a freshman learning the college pace, so the fit is best for a team that wants a fearless shooter and won’t mind some early growing pains.[2][3]
