Reid, who finished his collegiate career as one of Penn State’s most dependable defensive backs, is known for his strong work ethic, leadership, and consistency on the field.

His ability to cover a wide range of receivers, paired with his exceptional ball skills and football intelligence, has made him a sought-after prospect heading into the NFL Draft.
“I’m excited to have the opportunity to represent Penn State at the East-West Shrine Bowl,” Reid said after accepting his invitation. “This is a great chance for me to show what I can do in front of a wide audience, and I’m looking forward to the challenge.”
Reid joins a growing list of Nittany Lions who have earned spots in this elite all-star game, which has helped launch the careers of many NFL players. The event will take place in February, providing Reid with a final opportunity to impress scouts before the draft. His selection to the Shrine Bowl is seen as a positive indication of his readiness for the next level.
