Auburn assistant Trovon Reed hired as UCF cornerbacks coach
Auburn Director of Recruiting and Player Relations Trovon Reed has taken a job elsewhere. Reed will be taking a step up in an on-field role as cornerbacks coach at UCF under head coach Gus Malzahn.
Reed is a former blue chip wide receiver recruit in the class of 2010. He was regarded a 5-star by at least one service. Malzahn was Auburn’s offensive coordinator at the time. Reed was still on the team when Malzahn took back over as head coach in 2013. Reed moved to defensive back in his final season and made a career out of it.
Reed played for Auburn from 2010-2014, making him a part of a national championship team and another team that played for the title. His NFL career consisted of signing with five teams from 2015-2018 including the Seahawks, Rams, Dolphins, Chargers and 49ers. As a Charger, Reed had a 100 yard pick-6 against former teammate Cam Newton.
Reed started with former coach Bryan Harsin in August of 2021, assisting in player development. He took on an elevated role after former offensive coordinator Mike Bobo was fired after the 2021 season. The open staff position allowed for Reed to go on the road recruiting with the coaching staff.
