"Athletic, I bring a lot of energy to the table," Reynolds said in his signing clip. "So I just feel like it's going to be a good situation for all of us."

Reynolds committed to Florida in February, joining then-Grayson teammate quarterback Carlos Del Rio as leaders of UF's offensive recruiting haul. Del Rio would end up transferring to Cartersville (Ga.).

Reynolds projects well as a high-volume possession receiver who should continue to progress as a route runner and can use his big frame to make tough catches in the middle of the field.

Below, you can find a snippet of Reynolds' Sports Illustrated All-American scouting report, and you can welcome Reynolds to Florida following him on Twitter here.

Instincts:

Pure football player at his best when the football is in the air. Size, vertical ability, hangtime and ball skills make for impressive weapons down the field and in the red area. Effective after the catch with lower-body strength and toughness.

Bottom Line:

Reynolds is an extremely productive wide receiver prospect (1,500 yards, 15 TDs in 2019) built for the voluminous nature of today’s college football. He isn’t the most explosive prospect but compensates in multiple ways, from elite ball skills to physicality and some polish. As he cleans up his ability off the line and gets deeper in the route tree he can develop into a reliable multi-year starter in the SEC.
