Tony Bennett pulled the trigger on a new class of 2015 offer this past week, extending a scholarship to Brewster Academy (Wolfeboro, N.H.) rising senior power forward Jarred Reuter. Brewster head coach Jason Smith says the 6’8” Reuter initially grabbed the attention of UVa’s head coach this spring.

“Coach Bennett was at Brewster Academy to see Devonte Graham (a class of 2014 point guard who eventually committed to Kansas). He noticed Jarred then. He saw how physical he plays,” Smith said.

“What stands out about Jarred is how physical he is. He thrives on contact. He is about 245 pounds, and he has no qualms about throwing his weight around. Jarred is very aggressive. Even though he plays physical, he is an excellent passer for his size. You watch his highlights and he’s not flying around and dunking on people, but he’s physical and aggressive. His basketball IQ and strength separate him from some others.”

The 2014 National Prep Champion, Brewster Academy had eight seniors reach the Division 1 level (7 scholarship, 1 walk on). Reuter averaged about 10 points and nine rebounds per game according to Coach Smith, who says “those numbers are a bit deceiving” because of the amount of talent that was on the roster.
