Geoffrey Robert Reece (born May 16, 1952) is an American former professional football player. He played as a center in three National Football League (NFL) seasons from 1976 to 1978 for the Los Angeles Rams, Seattle Seahawks, and Baltimore Colts.

Born and raised in Everett, Washington,[1] Reece graduated from its Cascade High School,[2] and played college football at Washington State University in Pullman under head coach Jim Sweeney. He was all-conference twice in the Pacific-8,[3][4] and All-American as a senior. After the 1974 season, Reece played in the Blue-Gray Game, East-West Shrine Game, and the Senior Bowl.[5] He was inducted into the WSU athletics hall of fame in 2015.[6]

Selected in the third round of the 1975 NFL draft by the Rams,[7] a knee injury in the College All-Star Game on August 1 sidelined Reece for his rookie season in 1975.[8]
