Canadian offensive lineman Albert Reese IV tested in front of professional scouts at the recent Mississippi State University pro day.

The six-foot-seven, 330-pound blocker recorded a forty-yard dash in the 5.20-second range, 4.94-second shuttle, 8.06-second three-cone drill, 29 reps of 225 pounds on the bench press, 28-inch vertical jump, and eight-foot, nine-inch broad jump. His arms measured 34 7/8 inches, which is considered well above average for offensive tackle prospects.

Relative to the offensive linemen at the 2026 NFL Combine, Reese IV would have tied for fourth on the bench press alongside Texas A&M guard Chase Bisontis, Georgia guard Micah Morris, and Duke centre Brian Parker II. The rest of his testing would have placed roughly two-thirds of the way down the field.

The native of Edmonton, Alta. initially attended Harry Ainlay High School in his hometown but transferred to Clearwater Academy International in Florida in 2020 amid the COVID-19 pandemic. He received scholarship offers from Rutgers, Minnesota, Arizona State, Ole Miss, Oklahoma State, Michigan State, and Maryland before eventually committing to Mississippi State.

Reese IV played five collegiate seasons with the Bulldogs, dressing for 48 games and making 22 starts at right tackle. According to Pro Football Focus, he allowed four sacks and committed four penalties in 2025. He is expected to be a late-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft or sign with a team as a priority undrafted free agent.

The 2026 NFL Draft is scheduled for April 23 to 25 in Pittsburgh, Pa., while the 2026 CFL Draft is scheduled for Tuesday, April 28 at 7:00 p.m. EDT.
