2010 OUTLOOK
As an encore to a sensational freshman season, Reid raised the stakes during spring practice, earning defensive MVP honors as he put his name at the top of the depth chart at field cornerback. Rather than rest on the laurels of an accolade-filled rookie season, he went to work in an effort to move into the starting rotation after he was primarily as a nickel back who proved to be a dynamic return specialist. The Seminoles figure to get even more mileage out of Reid as a full-time position player in 2010.
