Film Room: Elijah Reed

Football recruiting is a crazy business. A day after Aamil Wagner dropped a huge surprise, Elijah Reed delivered another.

The Louisville (Ky.) Pleasure Ridge Park defensive back announced on Friday morning that he will continue his football playing career at the University of Kentucky.

First, I would like to thank God for blessing me with the opportunity to continue playing the sport I love. I want to thank my family, PRP and all of my coaches for believing in me through this process. Huge thanks to for taking a chance on me#BBN#TurnMeUp

With offers from Purdue and Utah, Reed decided to stay close to home and head down I-64 to join Mark Stoops’ program.
