Early life
Reynolds was born on March 29, 2007, and grew up in Queen Creek, Arizona.[1] He is the second-youngest of six children, and his father, as well as both brothers, also played college football.[2] He grew up with a focus on baseball but also played football as a quarterback.[2] He attended Queen Creek High School, where as a sophomore he threw for 1,808 yards and 11 touchdowns while running for 631 yards and 17 touchdowns.[3] The following year, he threw for 2,238 yards with 22 touchdowns while running for 1,426 yards and 19 touchdowns.[4] Reynolds was named first-team all-state and the state player of the year.[1] He did not play most of his senior year due to injury.[2] At Queen Creek, Reynolds was also a top baseball player and was selected first-team all-conference, all-region and all-state, while being ranked one of the top 100 baseball prospects nationally.[1] He had the game-winning, walk-off hit to win the 2024 state baseball championship, the first in school history.[5][6]
Reynolds originally committed to play college baseball for the Arizona State Sun Devils as a high school freshman, but later changed his mind.[7] He was ranked a four-star prospect and a top-10 quarterback recruit in the college football recruiting class of 2026.[1] Reynolds committed to play both college football and baseball for the Clemson Tigers.[8]
