Stanford commit Justin Reid welcomed to Bay Area by NFL Pro Bowl brother

Justin Reid is a big dude – a 6-foot-1 safety out ouf Prairieville, Louisiana – and he's headed to Stanford as part of the Cardinal's Class of 2015.

He's already getting a warm Bay Area welcome from a familiar face, his NFL Pro Bowler of a big brother.

Once Justin announced his commitment to Nerd Nation, his brother – San Francisco 49ers standout Eric Reid – took to Instagram to give him a hearty welcome to the Bay.

Justin was the top-rated safety in Louisiana and No. 8 in America, according to Scout.com. He chose Stanford over LSU, Notre Dame and Oklahoma. His brother, an All-American at LSU, excelled in his first year with San Francisco with 77 tackles and four interceptions.
