  11/30/21 - Gregory Reddick, rSr/2025, North Alabama, 5-10, 195 (DS#70 FS) + More +

  NEC DEFENSIVE ROOKIE OF THE YEAR (COACHES): DB Gregory Reddick, Saint Francis,...The wait proved worth it for Reddick, who redshirted as a freshman in 2019 before missing the 2020 season due to Saint Francis' opt out.

Reddick forced two fumbles during the season and made one interception, which denied Bryant at the SFU 5-yard line in an eventual 18-17 setback. The native Floridian totaled 45 tackles for a Red Flash defense that limited opponents to 19.1 points per game. - NEC Football
