WKU’s high-volume, high-ceiling passing engine
Reed was one of the nation’s most productive passers in 2022 and 2023 at Western Kentucky, topping 8,000 career yards and 71 touchdown passes as a Hilltopper, with a big-armed, aggressive style that fueled WKU’s offense. In the 2023 season, he threw for 3,340 yards and 31 touchdowns, though his interception total stayed in the double digits, which hints at a gunslinger profile rather than a play-it-safe operator. He fits best with a team that values tempo, trust, and vertical production over tidy risk management.
