He was the epitome of a UMD Bulldog, and what we can all aspire to be. To his family, thank you for allowing us to be part of his inspiring young life. Reed was a Bulldog through and through."
A native of Waunakee, Wis., Reed received a full scholarship to play football at North Dakota State University for four seasons upon graduating high school in 2019, before being welcomed as a UMD Bulldog in 2023. Throughout his athletic and academic career, he was a three-time Commissioner's Academic Excellence award winner, a four-time Missouri Valley Football Honor roll member, and earned three championship rings
