Final Report
Mason Reiger is a 5th year senior who spent time at Louisville before transferring to Wisconsin. Reiger missed all of 2024 due to a knee injury. This past season, Reiger finished with 5 sacks, 6 tackles for loss, and 33 total tackles. Reiger is leanly built at 6'5" and 251 lbs. He's a good athlete and testing confirmed his explosiveness. Reiger plays with super low pad level, especially for his size. He also has a great motor. As a run defender, Reiger needs some work. He gets pushed around a lot and stays stuck on blocks for too long. He can relied on to be disciplined in his approach and initially be in the right spot but he needs better play strength to avoid getting washed down or hinged out. As a pass rusher, Reiger has some juice. He has a fantastic inside swim move that could be even more impactful if he improves his outside rushes. He's too easily knock beyond the QB on outside rushes and needs more strength to be able to power through contact to complete the loop to the QB. Reiger's role projection is tricky but he'd probably start as a rotational EDGE rusher and find some time as a backup 3-4 OLB. He doesn't seem to have the play-strength to be a defensive end in a 4-3 scheme.
