February 23, 2026
Mississippi State commit Tristan Reed followed his brother's path from St. Louis to Link Academy, becoming a top-100 prospect known for versatility.

Tristan Reed's older brother Tarris plays for UConn. Tristan took a similar path—leaving St. Louis for Link Academy in Missouri to face a national schedule and prepare for the SEC.

The 6-foot-9 forward is a top-100 prospect known for his ability to guard the perimeter and do the dirty work inside. He's committed to Mississippi State, citing a strong connection with Coach Chris Jans as the deciding factor.
