Reed played for Malzahn at Auburn from 2010-2014 and after a four-year NFL career, was hired by Auburn as a player relations coordinator in 2021. He was a key factor in helping Auburn land several top recruits and often spent time on the road recruiting whenever the Tigers’ had an opening on the coaching staff.
