The more background stories you hear about Reynolds, the more excited I become for him to step on campus.

One thing James Franklin has been able to do very well over the years is find these diamonds in the rough players. Reynolds is a perfect example of just that.

When speaking about the star tight end, Ivins had great things to say.

“I was actually watching his quarterback commit last night, Dante Reno, who’s heading to South Carolina. And Luke Reynolds made two insane catches just on go routes down the sidelines,” he noted. “Beating large defensive backs that can run. So, I’m a big fan of him. I think he could be an X-factor in the Big Ten. I think Penn State did an excellent job of doing that evaluation and getting him committed.”
