Not only will Reibe be able to offer a college team size down low, but he likes to stretch the floor and shoot the three. His combination of size and skill makes him a coveted prize for the winner of his services in this class.
Reibe is not the only seven-foot center that the Ohio State Buckeyes are pursuing in the 2025 class. Malachi Moreno is set to visit the Buckeyes in September.
