In a span of 10 days, Western Michigan has lost two of its starting wide receivers from 2018. On May 5, Keishawn Watson finalized his graduate transfer to Appalachian State and on Tuesday evening, Jayden Reed tweeted his intention to transfer out of Kalamazoo.
As a freshman, Reed led the Broncos in several major statistical categories. He was first in receptions with 56, receiving yards with 797, and receiving touchdowns with eight. Reed attained Freshman All-American honors from the Football Writers Association of America (FWAA) for his standout true freshman campaign.
In addition to his receiver duties, Reed returned 12 punts for 215 yards and one touchdown and also fielded kickoffs late in the season.
