Thibodaux High School athlete Trovon Reed has received scholarship offers from nearly every top program in the country.The 6-foot, 175-pound playmaker made a trip to LSU last weekend to watch the Tigers’ spring practice with several other recruits, including his cousin, Lache Seastrunk.Reed is rated as a five-star recruit and the No. 19 overall player in the country by Scout.com. Seastrunk is ranked as a five-star running back and No. 7 overall in the nation.Reed said he and Seastrunk are eager to play together in college, suggesting the two players may come as a possible package deal.Reed said while on campus, he watched parts of spring practice and talked to the coaches before having to go to a track meet,”I was talking to the coaches, hanging out with Russell Shepard, Trindon Holliday, Seastrunk, Charles Scott, Richard Murphy and a lot of those guys,” Reed said.Reed said LSU, which extended one of its first 2010 offers to the rising junior, is recruiting him as a wide receiver though he also plays running back and quarterback for his high school team.”He’s primarily our quarterback,” said Thibodaux coach Dennis Lorio. “However, at various times last year, he played running back. He ended up being our leading rusher with an 8.2 [yards per carry] average. He was also our leading receiver and our leading passer.”Lorio said Reed reminds him of former Tiger and long-time NFL player Eddie Kennison.”I get probably 10-20 pieces of mail every day for him,” Lorio said. “He compares favorably with the top guys. He’s got a number of scholarship offers from virtually every major college you can think of.”Lorio said Reed is driven to show he’s the best at national camps.”He’s really a quiet, reserved kid, but he’s very competitive,” Lorio said. “He’s been to a bunch of camps and got MVP at the Alabama camp last summer. He’s been invited to the Under Armour Bowl and the Army All-American Bowl. He’s pretty much gotten offers from anywhere you’d want to go to, but he’s still going to camps to compete.”While Reed has plenty of offers to choose from, he said he has no leader for his services.”I’ll probably commit at an All-Star game,” Reed said. “If I [can’t decide], I’ll just wait it out because I don’t want to make the wrong decision.”—-Contact Tyler Harvey at [email protected]
