Jayden Reed Goes Back For Seconds For Another Thanksgiving TD

East Lansing, MI – In a Thanksgiving day tradition that is quickly becoming legendary, Jayden Reed returned a kickoff 93 yards for a touchdown, his second career Thanksgiving day return score.

A History of Success

Reed is now the only player in NCAA history to have two kickoff return touchdowns on Thanksgiving Day. His first came in 2021 as a member of the Western Michigan.

Reed said after the game, “It’s a blessing to be able to make history on a day like Thanksgiving. I’m grateful for the opportunity and I’m glad I could help my team win.”

A Big Play in a Big Game

Michigan State head coach Mel Tucker said, “Jayden is a special player. He’s a game-changer and he made a huge play for us today. We’re lucky to have him on our team.”

A Bright Future

Reed is a redshirt sophomore and has two years of eligibility remaining at Michigan State. He is expected to be a key player for the Spartans in the years to come.

With his combination of speed, agility, and ball skills, Reed has the potential to be one of the best return specialists in the country. He is a player to watch in the years to come.
