Danny Reece (born January 28, 1955) is an American former professional football player who was a cornerback in the National Football League (NFL). He played college football for the USC Trojans.
Daniel Reece Jr., his son is a former professional fighter. After starting his fight career at The University of Nevada, Las Vegas with their boxing team, where he was a two time western regional champion and the 2006 national champion in the welterweight division, Daniel turned professional. He was undefeated in seven professional bouts before an eye injury forced him into an early retirement in 2010. He returned to the fight game in 2012, this time competing as a mixed martial artist. His MMA career was also short lived as the same eye injury that had forced his retirement from boxing led to his loss of vision in one eye and subsequent second retirement.
Danny grew up with 8 siblings—5 brothers and 3 sisters, most of them younger. Prior to USC, Reece prepped at Banning High School in Wilmington, California.[citation needed] His brothers also played collegiate football, but Danny was the only one who played professionally. His father, Lloyd Reece, served on the USS Arizona during the bombing of Pearl Harbor and played professional baseball for the Kansas City Monarchs. Lloyd Reece died in October 2004.
