Michigan State football hires Effrem Reed as new running backs coach

Michigan State football announced on Thursday that Effrem Reed is getting a promotion.

The 29-year-old is going from offensive analyst to running backs coach.

Reed, who joined Tucker's staff when he was hired by MSU in 2020, is replacing William Peagler, who left the Spartans to join Florida's new staff under Billy Napier.

“Coach Reed is an excellent role model for our players,” said MSU coach Mel Tucker said in a statement released by the school. “In addition he is a tireless worker with a relentless dedication to teach, motivate, and develop players. He will be a difference maker for us on the recruiting trail and I’m excited about his future.
