Scouting Journals for Curley Reed

Long and twitched up defensive back who excels in press coverage as well as zone coverage. Leaner athletic build with the frame to add quality mass. Solid ball skills and ability to play through receivers hands to make a play on the ball. Has some slight hip stiffness but makes up for it with fast feet. Long speed is a bit lacking, not ideal for a corner projection but potentially fine if he slides to safety. Willing tackler that hovers around the box consistently. Suffered a torn ACL during a preseason scrimmage before his junior season. Recovery from injury and senior film will be the biggest factors in his projection to the next level. If he can get back to his sophomore-self he has the ability to step in and be an immediate contributor for any Power 5 team in the country as a rotational corner or safety. Older end of the spectrum for the 2023 recruiting cycle.
