Stewart Reese’s Redshirt Sophomore Season Should Be A Solid One

Mississippi State started redshirt freshman Stewart Reese throughout the year in 2017. He played well and earned his time on the field. Now, Reese is being given an opportunity to build upon the foundation of his career.

Stewart Reese is 6-5 and 345 pounds. At right tackle, Reese will be hard for defensive ends and linebackers to match up with when Mississippi State runs the ball. His size gives MSU a huge advantage when the Bulldogs run the ball.

Having started every game last season, Reese will be able to fully understand the game this year. The experience that he has now should help him, and MSU, in the 2018 season.

Mississippi State football has the potential to have a great offensive line in 2018. The Bulldogs are returning plenty of pieces from a solid unit a year ago to have an experienced force up front. Even though MSU is losing Martinas Rankin, the Bulldogs have enough coming back (including Rankin’s replacement) to succeed this year.
