Meet Thomas Reed III – a football player, entrepreneur, and dedicated advocate for student-athletes often overlooked by traditional recruiting systems. In this powerful conversation, Reed shares his journey from Deer Park, New York, to professional football, including the life-altering decision to give up his own scholarship opportunities to care for his father during a medical crisis in Colorado. His story is not just about athletic talent but about resilience, sacrifice, and an unwavering commitment to helping others.

Through the Thomas Reed III Foundation, Reed has created an innovative model that goes beyond typical football camps. His TR3 camps blend elite athletic training with education, life skills, and community support—offering college credit courses, NCAA guidance, and access to mentors. His upcoming all-star game at Cowboy Stadium is a game-changer, spotlighting under-recruited or injured athletes for one last shot at college sports. With camps in seven cities from New York to Hawaii, Reed is opening doors for first-generation college athletes and redefining what support looks like. As he says, “Stay blessed and enjoy the adversity… appreciate it, understand it's a blessing to still be where you're at, and keep pushing forward.” Learn how to get involved at officialthomasreed.com.
