Cappie Reed is a talented LB out of UMS-Wright who has been a huge piece of their defense over the last two seasons.

Reed is a tackling machine who helps his defense come up with stops nearly every snap. He’s terrific against the run and consistently flies downhill to fill in rushing lanes and fight off blockers to take down the ball carrier. Reed is terrific at tackling- he gets low, wraps up, and can come up with stops behind or right by the line of scrimmage for little to no gain.

Reed is just as productive against the pass- he’s a really effective blitzer who consistently gains great pressure and racks up sacks on the quarterback.

Reed had one of his best seasons yet last fall, ending his junior year with 136 total tackles (10 for loss), 2 sacks, one safety, and one fumble recovery. With production like that, teams at the next level are starting to take notice- Reed picked up his first offer from Hinds Community College a few weeks back!
