A retired financial executive who spent his career in the retail sector, Reid Hackney now resides in San Antonio, Texas, where he enjoys hiking, bicycling, and visiting dance halls. An alumnus of Penn State University, Reid Hackney is also an avid fan of the school's Nittany Lions football team.
The Nittany Lions finished the 2018 season with a win-loss record of 9-4 after losing to the University of Kentucky in the Citrus Bowl, but it was a particularly memorable season for freshman linebacker Micah Parsons, who not only registered 13 tackles in the Citrus Bowl but also led the team with 82 over the course of the season. In doing so, Parsons became the only true freshman to lead Penn State in tackles dating back to 1969, when the school began compiling year-by-year statistics.
What's most impressive about Parsons' team-leading 82 tackles is the fact that he started only one game this season. Moreover, the 6-foot-3, 240-pound consensus first-team Freshman All-American was initially recruited and signed by Penn State as a defensive end, but was converted to linebacker prior to his first game of the season. He also racked up five tackles for a loss, two forced fumbles, and 1.5 sacks in his first year with the Nittany Lions.
