About

Background
Early life
Reaves was born on August 29, 1996, and raised in Pensacola, Florida. He attended Pensacola Catholic High School, playing both baseball and football. He originally played running back for the Crusaders before his coach moved him to defensive back after his sophomore year. He was named first-team all-area as a junior. In his senior year, he was selected as honorable mention All-State after recording 39 tackles and five interceptions, despite missing an extended period of time because of vertebrae fractures.
College career
Reaves played four seasons for the South Alabama Jaguars, playing cornerback his first three years before moving to safety going into his senior season. In his first year as a starter as a sophomore, he was named second-team All-Sun Belt Conference after making 96 tackles (second-highest on the team behind Blake Dees with 102), eight for a loss, six passes defensed (led the team), and sharing a five-way tie for the team lead of two interceptions and a three-way tie of a team-leading three forced fumbles (with Dees and Devon Earl.) In his junior season in 2016, Reaves was named first-team All-Sun Belt after making 85 tackles (6 for loss) and again led the team with seven pass breakups, while tied with Kalen Jackson for the second-most forced fumbles (2) behind Randy Allen (3), as well as second-most interceptions (3) behind fellow cornerback Jalen Thompson (4).
In his senior year against Louisiana-Monroe, Reaves made his second collegiate fumble recovery (after making his first in the same season) which he returned for 92 yards, in a game where he caught his second interception of the season. He completed his senior year recording a team-leading 104 tackles (7 for loss) and three interceptions, tied for the lead with three forced fumbles (Nigel Lawrence) and two fumble recoveries (Malcolm Buggs and Zach Befort), as well as performing 1.5 sacks (which included his first collegiate sack) and 8 passes defensed. For his efforts, he was named the 2017 Sun Belt Conference Defensive Player of the Year (in doing so, he became South Alabama's first player awarded in the conference.) Reaves finished his collegiate career with 301 tackles (21 for loss), eight interceptions, 22 passes defensed, and nine forced fumbles. His performance earned him an invitation to the 2018 Senior Bowl, where he made eight tackles and an interception.
Personal life
Reaves proposed to his girlfriend, Mikaela Worley, on December 29, 2024 on the field of Northwest Stadium after a victory against the Atlanta Falcons.
Reaves married Worley on March 21, 2026.
