Early life and high school

Reavis was born in and grew up in Chester, Virginia and attended Thomas Dale High School. He was rated as a four star recruit by 247Sports and Rivals.com, who also rated him 20th athlete nationally and 250th-ranked college prospect overall for his class. He committed to play college football at Virginia Tech over offers from Tennessee, North Carolina, Ohio State, Oklahoma, Nebraska and Virginia.[1]

College career

Reavis began his college career at Virginia Tech, playing mostly on special teams as a freshman and recording eight total tackles. He was slated to enter the Hokies starting lineup as a sophomore but was ultimately dismissed from the university going into his sophomore year due to an unspecified student conduct violation.[2][3] He then transferred to East Mississippi Community College, where he played for one year and was featured in the Netflix series Last Chance U. In his lone season at East Mississippi, Reavis recorded 40 tackles, eight passes broken up and two interceptions before transferring to Marshall University.[4][3] Over the course of his two seasons at Marshall, Reavis recorded 132 tackles and an interception in 21 games played.[5]

gollark: Well, there are tradeoffs; either you accept it just repeating the input lots, or poor quality.
gollark: Which means it can capture other stuff less, and when it reaches 0 health it dies.
gollark: It takes damage.
gollark: You partly capture something by moving close to it.
