Reed attended Laguna Hills High School in California, where he was a four year starter. During this time, he received a handful of United States U-18 caps. After high school, he attended UCLA where he redshirted his Freshman year. The following year he appeared in four games and continued his good form earning an additional 16 games in his second year.
