Unconventional Receiver

As time ticks on through the season players will begin to show their talent and following the post season will be invited to the coveted All-Star games. One of the biggest of those is the U.S. Army All-American game. This game usually involves the best of high school talent from across the nation. Throughout the season I will be profiling talent that has either made the list or has ability to play in a game of this caliber.

As I continue to comb the Southeast region a player in the state of Louisiana caught my eye. Trovon Reed out of Thibodaux High School clearly has the talent in order to play in any All-Star game in the country. This wide receiver has some of the fastest wheels and best moves in the south. Reed also has the ability to return kicks and punts and has a knack for making tacklers miss in the open field.

The only issue that arises when finding an All-Star game for Reed to play in is what position will he play. He currently plays in a triple option style running offense that requires him to mainly receive handoffs and block on other running plays. Regardless of positioning once Reed makes it to college and has time to settle into the receiver position he will be able to refine his route running and in my opinion he will be one of the few to Make the Jump to the Next Level as a freshman.
