A feature in today’s L.A. Times offers a cool reminder that one of Penn State’s all-time football greats has had an even more interesting and successful career off the field. Mike Reid ’69 is profiled by Times sports columnist Jerry Crowe, who gets right to the point of what makes Reid unique:
Dozens have won the Outland Trophy, presented annually to college football’s outstanding interior lineman.
Hundreds have won Grammys.
Only Mike Reid has won both.
Reid must surely also be the only man enshrined in the College Football and Nashville Songwriters halls of fame. Without a doubt, he’s one we’re proud to call our own.
