Despite a disappointing 2-8 season for the Mississippi State Bulldogs, offensive tackle Albert Reese IV has been recognized for his exceptional performance by winning the prestigious Kent Hull Trophy for 2024. The award, given by the Mississippi Sports Hall of Fame, honors the top offensive lineman in the state each year. Reese has been a key player in the Bulldogs’ rushing attack, helping them exceed 200 yards in three games this season and averaging 168 yards per game since Week 4.
The Kent Hull Trophy, named after the late Mississippi State and Buffalo Bills legend, has been dominated by the Bulldogs, with Reese being the seventh player from the team to win it. This marks the second consecutive season that a Bulldog has received the award, with Cole Smith taking it home last year. Reese, a 3-star recruit from Edmonton, Alberta, signed with Mississippi State in 2021 and has made an impact as a full-time starter in his fourth season with the program.
Despite the team’s struggles this year, Reese’s individual achievement highlights the talent and dedication within the Bulldog football program. The award is a testament to his outstanding performance on the field and his contribution to the team’s success. As the season comes to a close, Bulldog fans can take pride in Reese’s accomplishment and look forward to seeing him continue to excel in his collegiate career.
