Release from Mississippi State:
Mississippi State offensive tackle Albert Reese IV has been named the 2024 Kent Hull Trophy winner, the Mississippi Sports Hall of Fame, in partnership with Entergy and the Kent Hull Foundation, announced on Monday. The Kent Hull Trophy is given annually to the state of Mississippi's top offensive lineman.
Reese, a native of Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, is a junior offensive tackle for the Bulldogs and an SEC Graduate with a degree in business administration. Reese has been a mainstay on State's offensive line this season, starting all 10 games at right tackle. He has helped create running lanes for State's backs, including Davon Booth who leads the team in rushing (615 yards) and all-purpose yards (1,002). Reese has also gained recognition for his community involvement, earning a spot on the Jason Witten "Man of the Year" watchlist for his efforts off the field.
Reese becomes the seventh Mississippi State offensive lineman to win the award and the second straight to do so, following Cole Smith last season.
The Kent Hull Trophy is named in honor of the late Kent Hull, a legendary center for both Mississippi State and the Buffalo Bills. Hull was a four-time All-Pro and three-time Pro Bowl selection, leading the Bills to four consecutive Super Bowl appearances from 1990 to 1993. He is also a member of the Bills' Wall of Fame. The Kent Hull Foundation supports the work of the Candlelighters at the University of Mississippi Medical Center (UMMC).
The recipient of the Kent Hull Trophy is selected by a panel of NFL scouts who cover colleges in Mississippi. The award will be presented at the C Spire Conerly Trophy ceremony on December 3, 2024, at the Sheraton Refuge. Tickets for the event are available for purchase online at www.msfame.com or at the Hall of Fame offices.
