Blake Reed '25 Recruiting Profile

I would like to have the opportunity to play football at the next level.  A walk on opportunity would be awesome!  August 2023 I was severely injured and unable to attend school or play sports. I dislocated and broke my acetabular joint.  I wasn't able to put any weight on my leg for several months and had to take the year to recover, but I was determined to play again. This injury was not going to stop me. It would only make me stronger and more determined.  I concentrated on healing and physical therapy daily for the year. I learned to walk and then run again.  It was one of the most difficult years of my life. My senior year had to be postponed and I will graduate May 2025.  In August 2024, I was blessed to be given the opportunity to play ball during the 24-25 school year and have a "normal" senior year. I look forward to the rest of my high school football season, and also track in the spring, to continue to get stronger and faster.  I believe I would be a positive asset to any team because I am extremely determined and won't let anything discourage me, either physically or mentally.

As for academics, I am interested in both engineering and physical therapy.  After my injury, I am interested in helping other athletes who have experienced an injury and help them get back to the sport they love.
