Deion Sanders, Colorado offer 4-star Auburn commit Darron Reed

Columbus (Ga.) Carver four-star defensive lineman and Auburn commit Darron Reed has received an offer from Colorado and Deion Sanders.

Reed is the No. 187 overall recruit in the 2023 cycle, according to the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.

The 2023 On300 ranking has Reed as the No. 40 prospect and the No. 6 defensive lineman in the class.

Reed was originally committed to LSU but flipped to Auburn on November 25.

“I just feel part of the family,” Reed told On3. “Everybody down there was real. They hold up to what they tell you they’re going to do.”

He currently has an On3 NIL Valuation of $17.4k. The On3 NIL Valuation is the industry’s leading index that sets high school and college athletes’ projected annual value (PAV). The NIL valuation does not act as a tracker of the value of NIL deals an athlete has completed to date. It rather signifies an athlete’s value at a certain moment in time.

Darron Reed Scouting Summary

Big-framed, long defensive lineman with the build and versatile skill set to project at multiple spots along the front. Checks in at 6-foot-5, 260 pounds with the frame and length to continue filling out. Would not be surprised to see him end up in the 300 pound range after some time in a college strength program. Lines up inside and at defensive end for Carver and excels at both spots. Shows off an explosive first step along with the on-field athleticism to track down ball carriers as a pursuit defender. Pairs that athleticism with strong hands and the ability to shed blocks in run defense. Had a strong junior season as a stalwart on the defensive line for a state finalist team.
