Reavis was born in and grew up in Chester, Virginia and attended Thomas Dale High School. He was rated as a four star recruit by 247Sports and Rivals.com, who also rated him 20th athlete nationally and 250th-ranked college prospect overall for his class.

Reavis began his college career at Virginia Tech, playing mostly on special teams as a freshman and recording eight total tackles. He was slated to enter the Hokies starting lineup as a sophomore but was ultimately dismissed from the university going into his sophomore year due to an unspecified student conduct violation.[2][3] He then transferred to East Mississippi Community College, where he played for one year and was featured in the Netflix series Last Chance U. In his only season at East Mississippi, Reavis recorded 40 tackles, eight passes broken up and two interceptions before transferring to Marshall University.[4][3] Over the course of his two seasons at Marshall, Reavis recorded 132 tackles and an interception in 21 games played.[5]
