Reid was named All-State for the third consecutive year. He was the Region 1-AAAAA Player of the Year for the second straight year. He helped the Vikings go 12-1, a year after leading them to a state championship. He was also named to The Orlando Sentinel’s All-Southern team for the second straight year.

“They say your senior year is supposed to be your best year. I enjoyed this year,” he said. “It has been a blessing.”

Now Reid, who was a superstar as both a running back and a cornerback at Lowndes, not to mention as a kick returner, is trying to decide on a college. The longtime Gator fan had committed to Florida last February, but now has decomitted, and is reconsidering his options.

“It was nothing against Florida. They’re still my No. 1,” Reid said. “But I felt like I may have committed too soon, and I needed to take some time, and decide what school was best for me. I feel like my life’s on the line, and I don’t want to pick the wrong school. I’m going to think about it, and decide on my own.”

There are plenty of schools interested in him, especially after his performance Sunday night. New Mississippi State head coach Dan Mullen, a former assistant at Florida, even offered to let Reid play both offense and defense, like he did at Lowndes.

“Everybody (is talking to me), from Big XII to Pac-10,” Reid said. “I plan to take a lot of visits.”

He wishes he could stay at Lowndes another year, but is grateful for the time he spent on the gridiron for the Vikings.

“I loved playing for Lowndes,” Reid said. “You can’t beat going to Lowndes. They’ve got all that tradition. They did a lot for me.”

“I appreciate all the fans who have supported me. I want them to know I’m going to come out on top,” he added.
