To these points, the player is like 21 or 22 years old and it is the year 2022. No one gives a shit, just say he's got some kids he wants to stay close to in Michigan. Whoever wrote that probably wears a monocle while typing. 

Maybe he really is into young boys….

Check his twitter account - Reed mentions having a daughter.  Haven't seen any of the 9.95'ers mention it yet though.

From an interview:

Quote

Why do you play football? Who or what motivates you the most?
I play because I fell in love with the game at a young age, playing ball in the backyard with my family and friends. The people that motivate me are my mother, sisters, niece, nephew and my 3 week-old daughter. I hope to leave a legacy and help provide for them in the future.

He does have an elite arm. Ball doesnt always hit its target, but it gets there in a hurry.

One of the Post/Chroncle writers (I think Blinebury, wasn’t Pancakes) told a story about hearing Dan Pastorini brag to a bunch of writers that he could stand on the street and throw the ball up to the 7th floor of a parking garage. He relayed this to Kenny Burrough whose response was “Yeah and his fucking receiver was on the third floor”….

mgoblog guys like him. His versatility and experience would make him a useful player anywhere. Probably looking to start somewhere because Michigan's interior line is full because they got that C from UVa to replace their only (I think) departing starter.

Agree that if we could get Drew Sanders, that'd be huge. 

Then we just need someone to step up with a big NIL deal for Billy Bowman's softball playing girlfriend.  I'd like to see what he could do at WR here, given that was supposedly part of the allure (along with the girlfriend) to going with OU.   I saw those 2 and Ja'Tavion play together for Denton Ryan in a game against a friend's kid.  They demolished them like 80 to negative 12.  It was insane.

OU's WR room is so empty I was thinking he'd get a look there this year. I'm not sure he's big enough to play defense at the highest level of CFB.

It would be a huge shock if his GF left. She got a good chance to be AA this year for another top 3 team.
