Freed is a two-time first team Daktronics Division II All-America and third team Associated Press Little All-America selection over the past two seasons. He was also the Super Region One Defensive Player of the Year on the Daktronics squad, which is voted on by the region’s sports information directors, and he was a first team ESPN The Magazine Academic All-American.
Freed has posted 258 tackles, 29 tackles for a loss and 14 sacks in the last two years.
