Final Report
After two years at Western Carolina Reid followed OC Kade Bell to the university of Pittsburgh where he achieved 1st team All ACC Honors in 2024 while also battling injuries in 2025. Reid is your typical scat back, if you can get him the ball in space he is a threat to turn every touch into an explosive play. He has soft hands and can line up in the slot and win with his route running. He is dangerous as a punt returner with 2 TD’s on only 18 attempts. Reid has a tiny frame and has been injured in both years at the power four level. It’s fair to question whether he can be relied on to stay healthy at the next level. He cannot be relied on to run between the tackles. Reid’s frame and durability is gonna reduce him to being a part time player ay the next level but his special teams acumen should help him stick on a roster as he refines his ability as third down back/backup slot.
