I've seen him play and know CT football. Don't let the numbers fool you either. Connecticut has a rediculous 50 point rule, which means if a team beats another team by more than 50 points, the head coach is suspended for the next game. His team blew out almost every team and had to pull back the reins, usually by mid third quarter. If he had been able to play better competition, he could have put up twice the touchdowns. He's accurate and has unbelievable armstrength. A special kid for the vols to snag.

He is definitely welcome here in Big Orange Country. I am hoping he has not been noticed by too many big schools yet and UT can make him an offer and get an early commitment. I did see Florida and Michigan on his list, however Michigan just got a commitment out of Kevin Newsome.
I believe our new offensive system would be a good fit for Reeds style.

Below is an article I found on Reed. He says Boston College and Uconn are his favorites right now, but he hasn't had many offers yet either.
Quote:
Jordan Reed, a 6-foot-4, 220-pound junior quarterback who helped guide New London to an unbeaten regular season in 2007 and a berth in the Class S state championship game, has already received a scholarship offer from Boston College, Whalers coach Jack Cochran said Thursday. Reed has also attracted serious attention from UConn, Florida and Maryland.
“Physically, Jordan's good enough to play anywhere,” Cochran said. “He's still relatively new to football — he didn't play quarterback until his freshman year — but he took a big jump last year.”
Reed has been a three-year starter for the Whalers, but elevated his status in 2007 when he completed 122 of 202 passes (60.4 percent) for 1,706 yards and 28 touchdowns. He was only intercepted twice. He also rushed for 570 yards on 73 carries (7.8 yards per carry) and eight TDs.
“He's got everything you want in an athlete,” said Cochran, who has coached numerous Division I players, including Bloomfield's Dwight Freeney, an All-Pro defensive end with the Indianapolis Colts. “He's got size, speed and a great arm, and he's serious about learning the game.
“The biggest thing with him now is his decision-making. He realizes to become a complete football player he has to study the game ... learn how to make better reads. But he's working hard. As the season went on (last year), he really stepped up for us and became more of a leader. He stayed after practice working on his mechanics with our quarterback coach (Travis Meyer), and he's working hard on his strength.”
Reed has already made unofficial visits to Boston College and UConn (he attended a Feb. 2 men's basketball game against Pittsburgh with New London teammate Anthony Schiavone and later visited the Burton Family Complex and Shenkman Training Center in Storrs), and will get even more exposure later this spring and summer.
Cochran said Reed will meet with respected national recruiting analyst Tom Lemming of CSTV in April, take part in the Elite College Combine on May 22 in Randolph, N.J., attend Florida's Elite Quarterback Camp in June and possibly be invited to the Manning Passing Academy in July at Nicholls State University in Thibodaux, La.
Reed, whose brother David was an all-state receiver at New London and recently signed a national letter of intent to play at Utah after setting a national community college single-season record with 111 receptions at Pasadena City College, won't rush into any decisions, although he admits right now Boston College and UConn are the favorites.
“I want to go somewhere where my mom can come see me play,” he said. “But I also want to find a place where I can fit into their offense. My brother told me to visit every college I can, to look everywhere. He said there might be a college I didn't really think about and it might be the one for me.
“It's going to be fun. I've already seen some places. UConn was real nice — everything's brand new — but I don't want to rush into things.”
Added Cochran: “He can't go wrong with BC because Steve Logan is one of the most respected quarterback coaches in the country; he can't go wrong with UConn because it's the state school and has great facilities; and Florida is simply one of the best programs in college football.”
