"Both Ruff and Bradbury have helped develop me into the man I am today and thanks to them and countless others I was able to achieve the success I could only dream of before coming to Lindsey Wilson. I am excited about the future and look forward to helping current and future LWC student-athletes achieve their dreams."
Earlier this season Reed became the program's first three-time NAIA national champion, winning three straight heavyweight titles. He finished his career with an impressive 82-12 overall record.
