Colorado State, MTSU after Georgia LB
Class of 2016 Atlanta (Ga.) Mays linebacker Myles Reid collected a handful of offers during the spring, but three programs in particular have kept on him the hardest.
"I'm keeping in touch with pretty much all the schools that have offered but mostly Colorado State, Middle Tennessee and Miami (Ohio) have been talking to me the most," Reid said.

Shortly after taking the head coaching job in Fort Collins, former Georgia offensive coordinator Mike Bobo targeted several prospect in the Peach State, with Reid being one of them.
"I've been talking with Coach Bobo and Coach Summer," the 6-foot-2, 202-pound Reid said. "He's telling me that I need to get up there and visit with my family. He wants to see us face-to-face and see Fort Collins and get a feel for the school."
Reid also said his family has a special connection that might make the distance between Georgia and Colorado a little easier to handle.
"It''s OK going a long distance because we can fly for free because my mom works for Delta," he said. "That makes things easier for all of us."
But just because he can go far from home, doesn't mean he will. MTSU is also hot on his trail.
"I like it a lot up there," he said. "Two players from our school have gone to MTSU and they like it there so that makes me a little more comfortable. I'm also hearing other guys talking about going there."
Reid said he has a family connection to the state of Tennessee as well.
"My family is from Chattanooga so it would be a closer option and they could come see me play," he said.
If all goes according to plan and Reid can visit the schools on his offer list this summer, he would like to announce a commitment before the start of his senior season.
