Draft Profile: Bio
Reed-Adams came out of DeSoto High School in the Dallas area as a two-to-three-star recruit, depending on the service, without much Power Five buzz. He signed with Kansas in 2020 and spent four seasons in Lawrence, slowly working his way from a raw freshman into a full-time starter by 2023, when he logged 605 snaps across 11 starts at left guard. The Jayhawks went 9-4 that year, and Reed-Adams held down multiple spots along the interior.He transferred to Texas A&M ahead of the 2024 season, reportedly drawn by a family connection to the school. The move paid off immediately. Reed-Adams locked in at right guard, started all 12 games, and was a key piece of a rushing attack that ranked second in the SEC at 195.5 yards per game. The Aggies reeled off stretches of 300-plus yard rushing games for the first time in over a decade with Reed-Adams clearing lanes up front.
He returned for 2025 as a team captain and earned preseason All-SEC and AP preseason All-American recognition. He started 11 of 13 games and was named AP second-team All-American, though his on-field production took a noticeable step back from his strong 2024 campaign.
Scouting Report: Strengths
- Good length at 6'6" with long arms that help him recover when beaten initially.
- Generates real power on drive blocks when he gets his hips involved at contact.
- Generally finds his anchor against bull rushes and holds the point of attack.
- Showed clear improvement in pass protection technique during his 2024 season at A&M.
- Plays with an edge and competes through the whistle on every rep.
- Adequate feel for stunts and games, rarely loses his assignment completely on designed movement.
- Durable starter with over 2,400 career snaps and 55 games of experience across two programs.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- 2025 tape showed clear regression in hand usage, pad level, and overall consistency.
- Penalty-prone throughout his career, flagged 31 times in six college seasons.
- Lacks the lateral quickness to consistently reach second-level blocks on the move.
- Body composition and base narrow under fatigue, leading to balance issues late in drives.
- Pass protection remains a concern, especially against quicker interior rushers with counter moves.
- Gets handsy and grabs when he loses positioning, inviting flags at the next level.
- Was rotated off the field at times in 2025, raising conditioning questions.
Scouting Report: Summary
Reed-Adams is best suited for a power-oriented rushing attack where he can fire downhill and move people at the point of attack. His run blocking in 2024, when he was anchoring the right side for one of the SEC's best ground games, showed what he's capable of when everything clicks. He has the length and functional strength to hold up inside, and his ability to find his anchor against power rushers gives him a baseline of competence in pass protection. A gap-scheme offense that asks its guards to drive block and pull occasionally would get the most out of his skill set.The concern is whether 2024 was the real Reed-Adams or whether 2025 was. His final college season saw a meaningful drop in both run and pass blocking effectiveness, and he was pulled from games at points during the year. The penalty issues followed him from Kansas to College Station and never really improved. At the NFL level, holding calls and false starts compound quickly, and a guard who draws nine or more flags a season is going to test a coaching staff's patience.
There is a path to Reed-Adams becoming a serviceable backup guard who can step in and start in a run-heavy package without embarrassing himself. His 2024 tape supports that ceiling. But the 2025 regression and the penalty history cap his floor, and any team investing in him needs to view this as a developmental project with a narrow but real window of NFL-caliber play to build on.
