Reagor started every game as senior and had 96 tackles, seven sacks and 19 tackles for losses, which earned him consensus All-America and All-Big 12 first-team selection honors.

[edit] Automobile accident
On October 22, 2006, Reagor was involved in an automobile accident on his way to that Sunday's game against the Washington Redskins. Reagor suffered a broken orbital bone and received 35 stitches in the back of his head. Reagor was later placed on the injured reserve list by the Colts and missed the duration of the season. Reagor still has severe facial damage. After the Colts won Super Bowl XLI, the team terminated his contract on March 1, 2007, due to the severity of his injury.
[edit] Aftermath
The signing of Montae Reagor also allowed the Eagles to trade DT Darwin Walker and a conditional draft pick in 2008 to the Buffalo Bills for LB Takeo Spikes and QB Kelly Holcomb. Reagor is expected to help Philadelphia's revamped Defensive line. Due to his successful play and return from his severe injuries, Reagor was named as the Philadelphia Eagles recipient for the 2007 Ed Block Courage Award.
