Rivals.com is reporting that Greg Reid, a former Florida commit, is visiting this coming weekend. He's listed as an athlete. Does anyone have any information on him?

Re: Greg Reid, Athlete, Valdosta, Ga.

He was a tailback/db. He had 2 picks (missed a 3rd as he hit the ground) in the allstar game he was (Under Armor I think). Played for Lowndes High (Lowndes County, Valdosta, Ga) he can flat out play, they were ranked 1 in the state and top 10 nationally and would have won state this year until he got hurt at the end of the season. After he went down, they did too.

He is a great athelete.

Re: Greg Reid, Athlete, Valdosta, Ga.

He's all over the field .

POTY - 12/26 - Lowndes' Reid is player of the year | ajc.com

Against Tift County, Reid, a two-way starter for Lowndes High, returned a fumble 102 yards from one end zone to another. Later in the game, he scored on a 99-yard run from his halfback position.

He also is the first player to be named first-team all-state for a third consecutive time in the highest classification since Ed Guthrie of Wheeler in 1975.

This season, he rushed for 1,242 yards and scored 16 touchdowns on 118 carries, an average of 10.5 yards per rush. He caught eight passes for 234 yards and returned 14 punts for 267 yards.

Reid’s nine interceptions led Region 1-AAAAA.

But despite Reid’s cover skills, Tomberlin believes he’s another Percy Harvin, Florida’s runner/receiver.

This kid definitely fits the mold of the "playmakers" that CS wants. It seemed like he was involved in every play during the Under Armour game.

Re: Greg Reid, Athlete, Valdosta, Ga.

It'd be interesting to know what position he's being recruited for. He looked phenomenal at the UA AA game at DB but clearly he's a guy that could play on offense as well.

Reid looked like the real deal in the Under Armor game. It seemed like he was in on every play on defense. It would be huge if we could pick him up

Re: Greg Reid, Athlete, Valdosta, Ga.

Was he on our board?

I'm just wondering if this is yet another slot we'd fill wondering how we''re going to fit them all in?

Not doubting his ability at all...

Re: Greg Reid, Athlete, Valdosta, Ga.

He's on the board now, and we'd take him in a heartbeat. Outstanding speed and could play either CB or WR for us.

Re: Greg Reid, Athlete, Valdosta, Ga.

The consensus on other boards is if he doesn't end up back at UF, he'll be at UGA. But, he's visiting, so...
It looks like he will end up at UGA or UF right now but with him visiting Bama he may just like what he sees. I am also hearing there may be some qualifying issues.

Looks like he could be a heck of a slot receiver and Javy's heir as PR. Would LOVE to get him.

I think he's being recruited as a DB. Luginbill said that he's this year's version of Jenkins (the freshman CB for Florida).

That is correct he is listed as an ATH but Bama is recruiting him as a DB.

DBs Reid, Jackson to make SEC visits
• Under Armour All-American Game standout Greg Reid (Valdosta, Ga./Lowndes) is taking an official visit to Alabama this coming weekend. The Crimson Tide is looking to add at least one more speedy defensive back and Reid certainly fits the bill. All signs continue to point to Reid signing with Georgia as long as his academic situation allows.

Re: Greg Reid, Athlete, Valdosta, Ga.

According to Scout.com analyst Chad Simmons, Reid is currently on his way to Tuscaloosa for his official visit.

Odds are low that we sign him, but it's nice to be getting attention from a very good prospect.

From what im looking at on Rivals it still shows him as a visitor for this weekend.
Those lists are often behind, but this is what a Rivals staff member said.
