New Beaver Football verbal: John Reese

The Beavers landed another recruit this week as John Reese from Upland High School (Los Angeles) verbaled to Oregon State. Reese is a TE who appears to have a lot of skill catching the ball. He’s 6-4, 220 and according to Rivals run routes well and has a good first step. With a little bulk he should be a decent blocker at the college level. According to the games stories I've found this year he must be faster than the 4.93 40 time that they list on the recruiting sites because he's had some long TD catches. I see 65, 43, and 40 yard TD passes and I don't think slow. Of course he could be dragging people 15 yards.

“After a terrific defensive stand inside its own 10-yard line, Upland increased its lead to 14-0 on Harding's 40-yard TD pass to receiver John Reese.”

Fohi furious at Upland win

“Upland made it difficult not to notice Friday night. The Highlander starting offense put a quick 21 points on the board in the first quarter and then turned things over to the backups. Quarterback Bryan Harding was an efficient 6-for-8 for 119 yards, including touchdown strikes of 6 and 65 yards to John Reese, in a little over a quarter of work. He also scored on a 1-yard run as Upland built a 21-0 first quarter lead.”
