Austin Reed’s college journey wasn’t a straight line, but few can claim that in 2024.
At multiple stops, Reed proved himself to be an effective signal caller and leader, earning the respect of his coaching staff, teammates, and opponents. A one-time DII national champion, Reed might be flying a bit under the radar considering two Heisman-winning QBs are also in this Draft class. However, it’s hard to ignore what he was able to accomplish in the college game.
A native of St. Augustine Beach, Florida, Reed began his college career at Southern Illinois, but took a redshirt in his one year there. He then returned to his home state, transferring to Division II’s University of West Florida.
