After Reeves missed four games with a broken collarbone during his senior season, only the [[University of South Carolina]] was interested enough to offer him a football scholarship. The interest from other schools came later, when he won the MVP trophy at the Georgia High School football All-star game, but he decided to stay with his first choice. Reeves also was selected to the All-state basketball team in 1961.<ref>{{cite web|last=Gustafson |first=Ken |url=https://www.americustimesrecorder.com/2018/09/04/dan-reeves-to-be-the-honorary-captain-before-panthers-home-game-against-shaw/ |title=Dan Reeves to be the honorary captain before Panthers' home game against Shaw |publisher=Americus Times-Recorder |date=September 4, 2018 |accessdate=January 1, 2022}}</ref>
