During the 2018 season, the Eagles’ offense set a school record with 623 points, which included six games of at least 50 points. Furthermore, EWU produced at least 600 yards of total offense five times that season and set school records with 3,839 rushing yards (255.9 ypg) and 41 rushing touchdowns.

Reeder spent the 2014-16 seasons working with quarterbacks at Oklahoma State as an offensive quality control coach.  

Oklahoma State played in bowl games all three of Reeder’s seasons there, including victories in the 2016 Alamo Bowl (defeated Colorado 38-8) and the 2014 Cactus Bowl (defeated Washington 30-22). The Cowboys also played in the Sugar Bowl following the 2015 season (lost to Mississippi 48-20).

The 2016 Oklahoma State team was 10-3 and second in the Big 12 with a 7-2 record. The Cowboys were ninth in the NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision in passing offense (323.9 per game) and 17th in scoring (38.6 per game).

At Oklahoma State, Reeder helped coach quarterback Mason Rudolph, who was ranked seventh nationally in passing in 2016 with an average of 314.7 yards per game. He completed 63 percent of his passes for a total of 4,091 yards, 28 touchdowns and just four interceptions.
