(S23) - PT 4 - The Butterfly Effect

[NylarthePhoenix]

Although Alex Reed's professional career has yet to even begin, there were some a year ago who believed that Alex wouldn't even make it to the pro level. When Alex Reed completed his high school career, he was not the overlooked talent that his father was. Instead, Alex was a five star recruit that every major college put some effort into recruiting. Ultimately, Alex selected the University of Alabama. During his freshman year, he was WR #3 on the depth chart, but this was to be expected, since the two receivers ahead of him were a Junior and a Senior who were extremely talented in their own right. With both of them leaving in the spring, Alex assumed he would be the starting receiver in his sophomore year. Unfortunately, two Top 10 WR recruits joined Alabama that year. On top of this, Alex suffered a season ending injury after just the fifth game of the season. With the two new recruits having excellent seasons, Alex was dropped back to #3 on the depth chart before his junior season. Alex had a decision to make: stay with the Crimson Tide and try to win the #1 spot back, or transfer to another school. Alex chose the latter and transferred to the LSU Tigers where he gained the #1 spot in a WR room that lacked a true #1 option. The rest is history. Alex Reed had the best season any LSU WR has had since OBJ, and helped lead the Tigers to winning the SEC championship over his old team, and the National Championship. Alex Reed is now a highly touted prospect coming into the DSFL this fall. Only time will tell if he lives up to his father's legacy.
