Quote: "LeQuint Allen," Reed said. "Him. That was why. I haven't seen a running back like that ever. That comes from getting a back 1,000 yard seasons. He was just different. The way he practiced, he reminded me of myself as far as the way he practiced and carried himself. Fun person outside of football but when you're within those four white lines it's business. I've seen it. Having somebody like that to toss the ball behind, why wouldn't you want to block a guy for him? Two, three maybe." 

Evaluation: J'Onre Reed is an intriguing center prospect who is extremely mobile, has a tremendous frame and plays with extreme physicality. Reed is willing to pull and can get to the second level, which gives offenses a lot of options. He is physical at the point of attack, plays with a chip on his shoulder and loves to open up holes for his running back. In pass protection, Reed holds up there as well using his hands to keep linemen at arm's length and a strong lower body to combat bull rushes. Refining technique and learning the offense will be keys for him this spring as he looks to take over the center spot next season.

Title: Publisher All Syracuse Education: Roberts Wesleyan College Location: Syracuse, New York Expertise: Syracuse basketball, football and recruiting.  EXPERIENCE Mike McAllister has been covering Syracuse basketball, football and recruiting for more than a decade. Mike's career started with his own free blog as a way to vent following sporting events. Shortly thereafter, a network of basketball sites called Coast 2 Coast Hoops asked him to run their Syracuse site. That site was called Nation of Orange, and Mike quickly established it as a go-to for Syracuse fans.  After running Nation of Orange for several months, a position with the Syracuse site on the Scout network became available. After one year as the recruiting expert with Cuse Nation, he was named the publisher. Mike oversaw the transition from Scout to 247Sports, and ran the site on that network for years.  Presented with the opportunity to join one of the biggest names in the sports journalism industry, Sports Illustrated, Mike jumped at the chance. All Syracuse was started from scratch by Mike and the Fan Nation team. It has now become a staple for Orange fans of various sports.  Mike has broken news on recruiting, Syracuse basketball and football team information and has established himself as the top recruiting inside in the market. He has appeared on local radio shows, television broadcasts, national radio shows and much more. Mr. McAllister has a Bachelor of Science Degree in Accounting and Information Management from Roberts Wesleyan College.
