College Career Summary

Kedrick Reescano arrived at Arizona as a high-pedigree transfer from Ole Miss, where he was a consensus four-star recruit and a top-5 RB nationally. After a developmental 2023 at Ole Miss (special teams focus) and a solid sophomore rotation in 2024 (359 yards), he truly emerged in 2025. Reescano became the Wildcats’ "touchdown machine," proving to be one of the most efficient red-zone threats in the Big 12. Standing at 6'0" and 214 lbs, he possesses the "NFL frame" that scouts look for, combining a background in track (state-level triple jumper) with a physical, downhill running style.

NFL Scouting Report

• Strengths: Protypical NFL build; elite nose for the end zone; high-character leadership; versatility as a pass protector; background in track provides rare explosion for a 210+ lb back.

• Weaknesses: Relatively low career volume (sharing the backfield); needs to prove he can be the "primary" option for 200+ carries; limited receiving production in 2025.

• Scheme Fit: Ideal for a Power/Gap or Up-tempo system (e.g., Browns, Eagles, Ravens).

• NFL Comparison: Isiah Pacheco / Rhamondre Stevenson.

Scout's Final Word

"Kedrick Reescano is a blue-chip talent who finally found his rhythm in Arizona's system. He possesses the 'scout's dream' frame and the track-star explosion that creates home-run threats. While he was used as a 'closer' in 2025, his tape against BYU and Baylor shows a back capable of being a primary NFL contributor. His ability to protect the QB and score in tight windows gives him a Day 2 ceiling. Projected: Round 3–4."
