Reed started playing high school football at Martin Luther King High School where he won a state championship as a junior in 2018.

The following year as a sophomore, Reed enjoyed additional playing time as he appeared in all 13 games while posting 31 tackles, two tackles for loss, three pass breakups, and a quarterback hurry. His breakthrough campaign was in 2023 when he started in all 13 games after the Nittany defense lost Ji'ayor Brown to the 2023 NFL Draft. Reed was more than ready to fill in the void and made 46 tackles with four tackles for loss, one sack, and a pass breakup. He will be expected to continue with his defensive force in the Penn State secondary this season.
