EJ Reid brings quick-hit production and transfer upside to UAB’s WR room
In the 2026 season, EJ Reid has started fast for UAB with 3 catches for 26 yards in the opener, and his profile suggests a compact, twitchy receiver who can create after the catch. He arrived as a three-star transfer from Wake Forest, where he saw limited action but earned regional football honors in high school and posted eye-popping prep production, which hints at real playmaking juice. At 5'8"-5'10" and around 180 pounds, he looks like a slot-friendly, versatile fit if your team wants an energetic, under-the-radar target with upside.
