July 29, 200817 yr Just wanted to let everyone know what Rylan Reed is up to. He pitched in our system for a few years before going back to football, and has been Texas Tech's starting LT for a few years now. Two years ago he set the school record with a 565 pound bench press. Then he got cancer, he overcame the cancer, then proceeded to break his leg in the Gator bowl this past January. What has he been doing in the offseason? Not much, just upped his bench press to 625 pounds. Anyways, just thought I would share, he's an amazing guy on and off the field.
July 29, 200817 yr Oh wow, I had no idea Reed was playing football. I always remember he was a huge guy, but he has to be pretty massive now if he's playing LT and throwing up over 600 lbs.
July 29, 200817 yr Author Rylan is about 6'7 315 pounds now, which is especially impressive putting up 600+ at 6'7. Always wanted to see him and Brian West out there dominating on the mound with their size, but it never worked out on the mound.

Always wanted to see him and Brian West out there dominating on the mound with their size, but it never worked out on the mound. What ever happened to West after he left LSU and returned to the Sox? Got any idea where he is now? Out of baseball, I presume. I remember he was actually a pretty good backup DE for LSU. Got some decent playing time on that National Championship team a few years ago.
July 30, 200817 yr Author Can't find anything on him either. Always wondered about Dan Wright as well.
