After two years at East Mississippi Community College, defensive tackle Jarran Reed transferred to Alabama and spent the past two seasons as a starter for the Crimson Tide. Upon his arrival, he made an immediate impact on the field and became an integral part of the team’s run-stopping defense.
The biggest criticism regarding Reed has been his sack totals. In 2014 and 2015, Reed notched only two sacks, one each year. However, with over 100 tackles in those two seasons, it’s clear he contributed in other ways, which is why he is projected to be selected in the first round of the 2016 NFL Draft.
