Jared Reed brings veteran safety instincts and reliable tackling to Utah State
Jared Reed’s profile is that of a steady, experienced defensive back: in the 2020 season at Utah State, he played in five games with two starts and finished with 18 tackles, 1.0 sack, and a pass breakup, including a career-high seven tackles against New Mexico. He’s a compact, physical safety who fits the “trust him in the alley” mold—useful in run support, willing in contact, and not easily rattled. If you want splashy ball production, he’s not that guy; if you want a dependable, assignment-sound defender with toughness and veteran know-how, Reed is worth a look.
