Austin Reiter provides stability to South Florida offense
South Florida center Austin Reiter has been an ironman for the South Florida offense, and after an 0-2 start, it something the team certainly needs.
Reiter, a junior, provided stability to the offensive group last year by playing in 651 of 652 snaps from scrimmage for the Bulls.
Reiter played in 651 of 652 offensive plays last year. On missing that one play? “It just ticked me off. One play … one play.'' - Reiter

Reiter said the only play he missed came when his helmet was knocked off and he had to go to the sideline.
“I was kind of mad,'' said Reiter, a 6-foot-3, 273-pounder from Bradenton Lakewood Ranch High. “Twelve games in and I've played every snap. It should've been a facemask. I said (to the official), 'You didn't see that facemask, did you?' He's like, '(Number) 78, you've got to come off.'
Reiter went on to say that he learned many of his football lessons from his father Richard, who was an offensive tackle at the University of Cincinnati and a team-mate of current Ohio State head coach Urban Meyer.
