Western Kentucky quarterback Austin Reed has withdrawn his name from the NCAA Transfer Portal and informed the coaching staff he intends to return to WKU next season, the school confirmed to the Daily News on Tuesday.

Reed was among the best passers in the nation this year, throwing for 4,249 yards and 36 touchdowns. Reed's yardage and touchdown totals were second and fourth in the entire country, respectively. The Florida native's 272 points responsible for were also the second-most in all of college football, and the most among all players in the Group of Five conferences. Reed threw for a season-high 410 yards in WKU's final game of the regular season, a win at Florida Atlantic. He also tossed six touchdowns to six different receivers earlier in the season in a victory at Charlotte. Reed threw for 300 yards or more in eight of WKU's 13 games this season. - BG Daily News

11/26/22 - Willie Taggart Jr., rSr/2026, Western Kentucky, 6-1, 180 (DS#999 WR) + More +

Florida Atlantic fired Willie Taggart on Saturday, only hours after the end of a third consecutive five-win season and no bowl bid for the second time in that span. Taggart was 15-18 in his three seasons with the Owls - 5-4 in the pandemic-shortened 2020 season, then 5-7 in each of the last two seasons. His finale was Saturday, a 32-31 overtime loss at home to his alma mater Western Kentucky. FAU is heading to the American Athletic Conference next season. “This evening, we made a change in leadership with the Florida Atlantic University football program,” FAU athletic director Brian White said in a release distributed by the school. “It was a difficult decision, as we have tremendous respect for Willie Taggart. He has represented FAU with class and character. However, the lack of on-field success needed to be addressed as we look toward the future.” White said the school would immediately begin a national search.

Taggart was brought in after Lane Kiffin left FAU for Ole Miss in 2019. Kiffin brilliantly revived his career at FAU, going 26-13 with a pair of Conference USA championships. Both FAU and Taggart hoped he had followed on the same path; he came to Boca Raton with a 56-62 record at four previous schools - Western Kentucky, South Florida, Oregon and Florida State. Taggart had a winning record at just one of those stops; he was 7-5 in his lone season at Oregon. He was 16-20 at Western Kentucky, 24-25 at USF and 9-12 at Florida State. He's had more 10-loss seasons (two) than 10-win seasons (one), has never been the head coach of a bowl win and has now missed qualifying for a bowl in 10 of his 13 seasons. He lost in his one bowl trip with USF, lost his only bowl trip with FAU, and left for Florida State before Oregon's trip to the Las Vegas Bowl in 2017. - AP College Football

11/26/22 - Austin Reed, rSr/2024, Western Kentucky, 6-2, 220 (DS#11 QB) + More +

Austin Reed threw three touchdowns and ran for another and Western Kentucky denied Florida Atlantic bowl eligibility beating the Owls 32-31 in overtime on Saturday. The Hilltoppers (8-5, 6-2 Conference USA) entered bowl eligible but missed a chance to play UTSA in the conference title game when North Texas (7-5, 6-2) beat Rice 21-17 later in the day. The Mean Green owned the tie breaker against Western Kentucky having beaten it 40-13 at Bowling Green on Oct. 29.

Trailing 31-24 after the Owls (5-7, 4-4) scored on their first overtime possession, Western Kentucky countered when Reed ran it in from the 1. The Hilltoppers followed by opting for the two-point conversion and secured the win when Reed rolled right and threw to an open Joshua Simon. Reed threw for 410 yards and Davion Ervin-Poindexter ran for 108 yards on 17 carries. N'Kosi Perry threw for 284 yards and a pair of scores and Larry McCammon had 127 yards rushing on 16 carries and a touchdown for the Owls. - Western Kentucky/AP College Football
