Prior to attending MSU, Reed spent six years in the armed forces as a soldier in the U.S. Army and attended to Cameron University for a year before returning home to complete his degree at MSU.

            "I grew up on MSU athletics," the 33-year-old Reed said. "I remember watching Jeff Ray play point and Greg Giddings performing the æScotland Slam.' This is a special place for me and I am honored with the opportunity to be a part of the great athletic tradition of MSU Athletics."

            Reed begins his duties at MSU on June 25.
