Depth OL with SEC-sized frame and local-lunch-pail toughness
Reese Besse is a 6-foot-4, 281-pound offensive lineman for Louisiana-Monroe and a redshirt freshman from Crowley, Louisiana, giving him the kind of frame and developmental runway coaches love in the 2026 season. His value is less about flashy stats and more about projection: size, versatility, and the line-room grind that can turn into reliable depth or a future starter. The catch? Public game-production data is thin, so this is a bet on upside, not a finished product. If you want a big-bodied developmental tackle/guard with hometown grit, he fits the bill.
