Southern’s long, active cornerback brings starting-caliber length and production
Eric Reed Jr. is a 6'1" cornerback for Southern University in the 2026 season, and his profile screams NFL-style length, experience, and versatility at the back end. In the 2024 season, he recorded 7 total tackles, 2 pass breakups, and no interceptions, showing he was active in coverage and around the ball. The big appeal is his frame, senior-graduate experience, and SEC-level background from Georgia Tech, which can matter as much as the box score when you want a physical, polished defender who should fit best in a defense that values press coverage and boundary discipline.
