Overview: Reed’s commitment to Auburn over Georgia in 2020 generated quite the buzz. A four-star, Reed was rated by 247Sports, Rivals, and ESPN as one of the top seven recruits in Louisiana and ranked in the top 15 nationally at his position. Formerly a safety, Reed was moved to the cornerback position this spring and nearly pulled off an impressive interception during A-Day. With the impending arrival of JUCO cornerback Roterius Torrence, will we see Reed move back to safety?
