Reed attends Monarch High School in Pompano Beach, Florida and in a hotly contested recruiting battle chose Ole Miss over his other finalists: Clemson, Penn State, Kentucky, and West Virginia.
Reed caught 56 passes for 1,311 yards and 15 touchdowns in his junior season as he helped Monarch finish 11-3 with an appearance in the semifinal round of the high school playoffs.
The 6-2, 195-pound Reed is rated as the nation’s No. 59 wide receiver and the No. 55 overall player in the state of Florida’s 2025 class by 247Sports.
One can imagine Ole Miss wide receivers coach George McDonald is happy with the decision.
