Nick Reed is SMU’s steady-leg specialist with preseason recognition
In the 2026 season, Nick Reed has been efficient for SMU, going 2-for-3 on field goals and a perfect 3-for-3 on extra points through Sept. 11, with a long of 22 yards. SMU also named him a first-team preseason All-Texas selection, which is a nice tell that coaches and evaluators trust his baseline consistency. The takeaway: Reed looks like a dependable special-teams piece who adds polish and stability, making him a fit for teams that value reliability over flash.
