Reed on why he chose Texas A&M

“I was just impressed by how much coach Fisher showed he wanted me to be a part of this class,” Reed said. “He’s come to see me at home and the recruiting staff did amazing with the little time they had with me. Everything about the school stood out from the Aggie network, to life after football, and what coach Fisher has done with Quarterbacks in his past.”

Relationship with coaching staff

“The coaching staff is amazing,” Reed said. “They were all there to greet me just about everywhere I went and treated me like I was already a commit. I’m closest with coach Dameyun Craig, he’s been recruiting me the hardest and he made it clear for me what would be my best option for my future. Some conversations are just us talking and catching up and then others are about football and what the program has to provide and I’m convinced this team will be one of the SECs best in the future.”

The Tennessee quarterback joins coach Fisher and the Aggies’ Top 15 class in the 2023 team rankings. He is accompanied by David Hicks, Reuben Owens, and others.

Reed ranks as the No. 318 player in the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that accounts for all four major recruiting sites. He also tabs in as the No. 18 quarterback and the No. 7 player in the state of Tennessee.
