A two-year starter in State College, Reed intercepted three passes last season and had 98 tackles with three pass breakups and one forced fumble, helping Penn State reach the College Football Playoff semifinal. In 2023, he had 46 tackles and two interceptions.
Over three seasons, Reed finished with 181 tackles, 12.5 tackles for a loss, 3.5 sacks, a forced fumble, five interceptions, a defensive touchdown, 12 passes defended and seven pass breakups.
