D.J. Reed announces plans to enter NFL draft

In a tweet posted Sunday night, K-State junior defensive back D.J. Reed announced he planned to forgo his senior season to enter the NFL draft.

Reed, a native of Bakersfield, California, came to K-State in 2016 after a year at Cerritos College.

On the defensive side of the ball, in his two years at K-State, he tallied 125 tackles including five for loss, broke up 25 passes, intercepted seven more — returning one for a touchdown — and forced three fumbles and recovered two.

But Reed really shined in special teams as a return man.
