Before joining the staff at Ball State, Reisert spent two seasons as the wide receivers coach at Ohio Dominican University where he coached one first-team all-league selection. While there, he also spent one year as the quarterbacks coach and also served as a graduate assistant working with the defensive backs.

Reisert was a standout on the gridiron at ODU where he set nearly every league record for passing offense, including throwing for 13,338 yards and 120 touchdowns in four seasons. A three-time first-team all-conference selection, Reisert set 10 national records during his career and was the league’s offensive player of the year in 2007. He was twice named to the American Football Coaches Association All-America Team. Reisert was inducted into the Moeller High School Hall of Fame in 2012.
