FSU nails down top corner Greg Reid

Greg Reid of Lowndes County, Ga., announced on Tuesday that he will sign with Florida State on National Signing Day. The cornerback is rated in the Top 10 at his position by most recruiting agencies and was the Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s Georgia state player of the year. He chose FSU over Georgia and Alabama.
This is a great pick up for FSU and it fills an immediate need at corner if Reid can step in and play early. Top corner Tony Carter is gone and the Seminoles had been expected to sign four defensive backs, but all played safety in high school, including Willie Downs who might be able to slide to corner.
Reid was committed to Florida until a month ago. He thought he had rushed his decision and decided to open up his recruiting. Florida coach Urban Meyer wasn’t happy, as Reid told several publications that Meyer spoke to him in a “stern tone” to voice his displeasure.
Reid also considered Auburn and Miami. He took Florida off the table a few days ago.
