Tall, lean freshman DB with proven ball skills and disruption upside
Donlaray Reese Jr. enters Butler as a 2026 freshman defensive back at 6-foot, 160 pounds, and his high-school résumé pops: three-year varsity starter, three-time All-SAC selection, 78 tackles, and 25 pass breakups. That kind of production screams coverage instincts, competitiveness, and a knack for getting hands on the football rather than just being a body in the secondary. He looks like a developmental fit who can add value quickly in sub-packages and special teams, with the upside of a sticky, play-making DB if he keeps adding strength and polish.
