1
Jayden Reed, WR Sr.
The 6-0, 185-pound two-time All-Big Ten star started out his career at Western Michigan – making 56 grabs for 797 yards and eight scores – and kept it all going up the road in East Lansing with 92 catches for 1,433 yards (15.6 yards per catch) and 13 scores.
Great as a receiver, he’s every bit as dangerous as a return man averaging 19 yards per career punt return with three touchdowns – including two last year – and 22 yards per kickoff return at MSU.
#CountdownToKickoff: 8⃣8⃣ days@JaydenReed5's 8⃣8⃣-yard punt return TD vs. WKU last year made him just the second @MSU_Football player to house two punts in a season. ✌️#B1Gstats pic.twitter.com/neTI0Yblez
