2019 Season Countdown: #56 Hunter Reynolds
Name: Hunter Reynolds
Height: 6’0″
Weight: 191 lbs.
High school: South Orange (NJ) Choate Rosemary Hall
Position: Safety
Class: Redshirt sophomore
Jersey number: #27
Last year: I ranked Reynolds #109 and said he would be a backup defensive back and special teamer (LINK).
TTB Rating: N/A
Reynolds went into last year as a well regarded walk-on defensive back, and he got a little bit of playing time. He was also named Scout Team Defensive Player of the Year.
This spring I started to hear some more buzz about Reynolds. He was supposedly outpacing some of the scholarship guys, and he’s also expected to become a contributor on special teams. He doesn’t have a great resume so far – although obviously he stands out on the scout team – but I think his special teams coverage will at least be significant in 2019.
Prediction: Backup safety, special teamer
