Ryne Reeves

6-3, 295, OL, Crete, Neb. (Crete HS)

 

Ryne Reeves is another in-state prospect in Nebraska's 2011 recruiting class and part of an impressive group of offensive linemen set to join the Husker program. The 6-3, 295-pound Reeves was a key figure in a Class B state championship season for Crete High School in 2010. Reeves helped Coach Chuck McGinnis' team rack up more than 3,900 rushing yards en route to a perfect 13-0 record. In addition to his dominant lead blocking, Reeves was also a force on the defensive side, recording 73 tackles and two tackles for loss from his tackle spot. He also forced a fumble in the Class B state title game, a 34-0 victory over Elkhorn. Reeves was honored for his effort as a Super State selection by the Lincoln Journal Star,  and a All-Nebraska pick by the Omaha World-Herald. Reeves was also named the honorary captain of the Class B all-state offensive unit by the Lincoln Journal Star. Reeves was also a first-team All-Nebraska pick as a junior in 2009. Reeves lined up at guard for the Cardinals, but was named to the Rivals.com All-America team as a center. He is regarded as one of the top five center prospects in the country by both Rivals and Scout.com, and Rivals lists him as the second-best prospect in the state of Nebraska. Super Prep Magazine also lists Reeves among the top five players in the Midlands region.  Reeves was the first player to commit to the Huskers' 2011 class, doing so in the summer before his junior season. Despite his early pledge to NU, Reeves received an offer from Stanford and interest from several other schools including Miami, USC and UCLA. Reeves was born on July 14, 1992, and is the son of John and Mary Ellen Reeves.
