Rakwan Reed brings ball-hawking upside to Missouri State
Rakwan Reed is a freshman safety for Missouri State whose calling card is playmaking: in the 2023 season at Westbury High, he posted 9 interceptions, 7 pass breakups, 21 tackles, and a forced fumble, plus valuable two-way production as a receiver/scatback. Missouri State lists him at 5-foot-11 and 165 pounds, and his profile suggests a high-energy defender with range, instincts, and track-speed tools that can translate into turnover creation. He redshirted after brief 2024 action, so the fit question is about upside and development—he looks like a worthwhile add for a staff that values aggressive, versatile defensive backs.
