Reed to be honored

KU senior guard Tyrel Reed will be recognized at 2 p.m., Wednesday on the Kansas Senate floor at the State Capitol Building in Topeka for his academic and athletic achievements at KU.

Senator Jeff King, who serves Kansas’ 15th District, which includes Reed’s hometown of Burlington, will introduce Reed. Reed finished his career as the winningest player in a four-year period at KU with a 132-17 record. He was named first-team academic All-America, Lowe’s Senior CLASS Award All-America first team and was one of 10 finalists for the Senior CLASS national award. He was an academic all-Big 12 pick for three seasons.

He’ll be competing for the Compton Magic at the Jayhawk Invitational, Friday through Sunday at Haskell’s Coffin Complex and other gyms around town. More information on the tournament will be available later this week. York has received scholarship offers from KU, Arizona, Arizona State, Colorado, Connecticut, Marquette, Oklahoma, Oregon State, USC, Washington and Washington State.
