A 6-foot-3, 225 pounder out of Brooklyn’s Poly Prep Country Day School, Reynolds had also received offers from a myriad number of schools including Buffalo, UConn, Maryland, Pittsburgh and many others. His 40-time is a bit slow at 5.06 seconds, but that can be improved with coaching and some time in the gym.
