Reese’s best season came as a freshman, where he had nearly 200 carries. He hasn’t had more than 66 since. Reese finished his freshman season with 972 yards, 14 touchdowns, 4.9 yards per carry, 13 receptions and 89 receiving yards.

As a member of the Class of 2022, Reese was a three-star recruit out of Bellville (Texas) High, according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He was the No. 103 overall prospect in the state, the No. 54 running back in the class and the No. 716 overall prospect in the class.

Richard Reese latest move from Baylor

Reese was the latest move from Baylor as the running back hit the portal. In late March, Baylor named Aaron Hunt as the team’s new general manager.

Hunt has been a member of the Bears’ staff since 2021 and was most recently an assistant AD for player personnel. Prior to joining Baylor, he helped found 306 Elite Performance and Development, an organization that provided after school sports for kids in seventh grade or younger in Denison, Texas. He was the program’s director from 2014-21.

Hunt played college football at Texas Tech from 2000-02 and is still the Big 12’s all-time sack leader with 34. He would go on to be selected in the sixth round of the 2003 NFL Draft to the Denver Broncos but was later released by the team that same season.

Hunt also had a stint on the Arizona Cardinals practice squad and eventually re-signed with Denver in 2005. He later was cut again by the Broncos and signed with the BC Lions of the Canadian Football League in 2006, winning the league’s Most Outstanding Rookie Award. He played seven seasons in the CFL before retiring in 2012.

Hunt played a part in Baylor’s 2025 recruiting class with his previous role, helping them land the No. 5 class in the Big 12 according to On3’s Industry Rankings. He’ll now presumably take on even more roster-building duties in 2025.
