Reddic, a freshman running back at Texas State, once rushed 53 times for 347 yards during a playoff game as a senior at Kilgore High. He raised horses as an adolescent, helped build houses from scratch and moved slabs of sheet rock. Reddic also tried bull riding, but gave it up once he thought better of it.
After one visit to his home in Kilgore, Bobcat running backs coach Charlie Reeve knew he had to recruit Reddic to play for Texas State.
“I knew there was something special about him,” Reeve said. “I made visits to his home in Kilgore and talking with him and learned so much about him. Number one, we knew what type of person we were getting. He's a great character kid. He's mentally and physically tough and we knew we'd get a durable back.”
