Collegiate Stats

 

18 Games | 49 tackles, 3.0 TFL, 1 sack, 3 INT, 8 PBU

 

Former Recruiting Rating: 3-star (81)

 

National Ranking: No. 1,940


Analysis: Following the Christian Gonzalez path, Nikko Reed is transferring from Colorado to Oregon and working to be a mainstay in the defensive secondary. Duck fans didn’t get to see him this spring, so he could be a breakout for all fans involved.
