“He’s already played a lot of football and meaningful snaps, (and) comes to us as a great player from Delaware.” “He’s a veteran football player,” Campbell said. Head coach Matt Campbell would tend to agree. Reeder has more than proven he’s not only capable of playing at this level but has the skillset to make an instant impact in Iowa State’s defense. There is no question that the Delaware transfer and redshirt senior is a fit in defensive coordinator Jon Heacock’s system.Īnd Reeder’s teammates and head coach agree.įAMILIAR TERRAIN: Blue Hens, Trainer return to Rhode Island seeking revenge Hard work pays offĬolby Reeder has had big shoes - er, cleats - to fill.Ĭoming to Iowa State as a linebacker, Reeder was tasked with filling the gap left with the departure of one of the best linebackers in Cyclones’ history, Mike Rose, and another star performer in Jake Hummel. Reeder twice scored touchdowns on fumble returns at Delaware and had four career interceptions but missed the 2019 season after back and shoulder surgeries. It’s a level of consistency that has earned Reeder a starting spot immediately, especially after he posted five total tackles, three quarterback hurries and two broken-up passes against Southeast Missouri. The interception highlighted a successful day on defense for Reeder, who recorded four total tackles, one tackle for loss and two quarterback hurries, as well. “You just gotta secure it and try to take it to the house,” Reeder said. Iowa linebacker Colby Reeder runs with the ball after picking off Iowa quarterback Spencer Petras in the second quarter Saturday. At that point, that’s a gift that he basically wrapped up and tossed to me.”

“If you watch the replay, he had full extension, hit (it) up in the air and we had some guys around, but it bounced to me. “Tampa made an amazing play on the ball,” Reeder said. But when Reeder was asked about the same play, he was quick to turn the attention back on his teammate. Tampa credits Reeder with the interception, which is technically true. “But then I seen him running and I’m like, ‘That’s Colby.’ I feel like he needed that, and we needed that as a defense to keep the game going, keep pushing on and I feel like everything fell into place.” “When I tipped the ball, I didn’t know what happened to the ball,” Tampa said Tuesday. Right into the hands of his teammate, Reeder. He managed to get a hand on it, but Tampa deflected the ball. While Iowa’s redshirt freshman wide receiver dove in an attempt to make the catch, so did Iowa State defensive back T.J. Quarterback Spencer Petras took the snap and backed up to about the 10-yard line before slinging a pass to Alec Wick. With less than two minutes remaining in the first half of the Cy-Hawk game, the Hawkeyes had possession of the ball on the 18-yard line.
