How He Fits
Defensive tackle is a big priority in the 2017 class and Reitmaier, an in-state prospect, is a big target at that position. He has exceptional athleticism for his size. His high school teams uses him in the backfield on offense and he can regularly be seen running down opposing teams’ skill players from his defensive tackle spot. Since he’s only about 280 pounds at this point, size could be a question at the next level, but he has the athleticism, technique and mindset to play in the SEC.
