When the Miami RedHawks returned to Yager Stadium September 9 against Austin Peay, the ‘Hawks defense was clicking on all cylinders, led by senior safety Tony Reid. When the RedHawk offense began to struggle in the third quarter, Reid began to heat up. In the second half alone, Reid was a part of three turnovers, two coming on fumbles, while miraculously intercepting a ball down the seam deep in Miami territory.
Such an impactful game on its own is noteworthy. However, when taking a look into the preparation that went into Reid’s performance, he goes from impressive athlete to honorable teammate.
