Braxton Reid 5'9,170LB DB/ATh Class 2018 - Bethany HS (OK)

Braxton Reid comes to us from Bethany HS in Oklahoma where he is extremely impressive as a shut down defensive back. With game changing speed and the ability to change direction in a split second, I believe this young man has a extremely high ceiling with the athletics he possesses. After scorching a sub 4.4, 40 yard dash at South East Missouri State's camp, the staff was extremely impressed. So far, before entering our program he is being recruited by Central Oklahoma, Ohio U, Southern Nazarene, SE Missouri State, North Texas, Arkansas Tech, NorthEastern and Southern Arkansas! Braxton is able to stay in the "hip pocket" of receivers and does not hesitate to come up quickly on the ball to make aggressive sure tackles. When Braxton is on the backside of a play, he shows a high motor with great speed in the ability to take the proper angle to prevent a score. Braxton can be utilized in a variety of ways on the football field and we will also be using him on Special Teams, while also surprising the defense with his stellar skills offensively. This lands Braxton in our "Athlete" category, where only the strong survive the vast winds of College Football. Watching Braxton intercept the ball at 3:20, makes me believe he is going to make a immediate impact at the next level in the passing game. Braxton is able to easily detach from oncoming blockers and has great closing speed to the football. I really like the fact the Braxton will never give up on a play and uses superior speed to track down ball carriers. This up and coming season in Oklahoma, I would be very cautious when targeting Braxton's side of the field, because at any given moment the game could change in a flash! Welcome to the Scout Trout family and keep grinding until the job is complete!
