Reggie ended up playing for the Jacksonville Sharks in the short lived WFL. I was living in Jacksonville during that period and went to see him play in a game. I had attended NFL games (a buddy's father had season tickets to the Bengals and when it got cold, we ended up with the tickets) and the WFL was a lower level of play compared to the NFL. I think the Jacksonville experience was the end of his playing days?
Interesting the other team playing the Sharks that game had a member of the undefeated 1969 Marshall Freshman football team playing for team playing for them, Ron Mikolajczyk. Ron played on the offensive line and was huge. Ron also worked as a bouncer at the bar on 20th Street north of the Third Avenue, I think it was called The Library. When the recruiting scandal hit, MU players were allowed to transfer to another school without sitting out a year for the transfer rule. Ron ended up going to the University of Tampa.
Interesting article about that period from a former player.

Yeah, Flat Tire 2, that 69 freshman team was talent rich to be sure. The product of Perry Moss's "No rules" recruiting which led to many things, NCAA sanctions, MAC expulsion, etc., etc.
Mikolajczyk was a "big time" get, on the recruiting lists of some big Eastern Powers and some Big 10 schools per newspaper reports. Herd freshmen team also had a small but quick halfback by name of Robby Giardino, or something close on the last name, who ended up at Tampa with Mikolajczyk. Ironically, where MU football suffered penalties, etc., from these guys, and others, recruiting, and later much worse (the crash), it was the Univ. of Tampa, or Tampa U., which wound up dropping football, and NOT Marshall!
Oh, yes, Mikolajczyk was from New Jersey as were two others who starred on the ill-fated 1970 Herd Team: Marcelo Lajtermann (sp), the great kicker, and Lionel "Ted" Shoebridge, a phenomenal freshman and varsity QB. Anyone who saw these two play and knew something about football back in that time realized that both could have been playing in the NFL at some future point! I believe the 1969 frosh wound up 5-0, and one win was over the UK frosh, I believe, in a game played at "Ye Olde Fairfied".
