He appeared as a substitute fullback in Michigan's 50–0 victory over Albion and the team's 33–0 victory over Indiana. In its "Football Year-Book," The Michigan Daily-News said of Reid, "He has developed rapidly in the fullback position." The 1901 Michigan team was the first of Fielding H. Yost's "Point-a-Minute" teams. The team compiled a record of 11–0 and outscored its opponents 550 to 0.

Reid was also a member of the varsity track team, competing in the hammer throw, during his first year at Michigan. In May 1902, The Michigan Alumnus noted: "Reid, the sub-fullback on the Varsity, has been showing up remarkably well with the hammer, and the first of this week, threw it 126 feet, within less than four feet of the Intercollegiate record." Reid received his law degree from Michigan in 1906.
