Prospect: Trey Reynolds
Status: SI All-American candidate
Vitals: 6-foot-2, 235 pounds
Position: Inside Linebacker
School: Queen Creek (Ariz.)
Committed to: Utah
Projected Position: Middle Linebacker

Frame: Tall and well-proportioned. Broad shoulders and wide chest taper to thick waist. Big, tightly-wound lower half. More filled out than most, but some room for additional muscle.

Athleticism: Powerful and explosive. Arrives with force as tackler. Quick, active feet. Not especially fluid hips, but very good change-of-direction ability. Claims 4.6 40-time, and shows it on tape. Reaches fifth gear in a hurry. Natural ball skills.

No purchase necessary. 50 U.S./D.C. 18+. Entry opens 3PM ET Dec 6, 2026 and closes 8PM ET Dec 18, 2026. Void where prohibited.See for complete details. The College Football Playoff (CFP) is not a sponsor or administrator of this contest.

Instincts: Forceful and decisive. Never a wasted movement on the field. Always reading quarterback’s eyes and guard keys. Chops feet and shuffles while diagnosing. Plays quarterback on offense; clear understanding of coverage concepts. Meets blockers with power in hole.

Polish: Outstanding awareness and football IQ. High-level technique and footwork flowing to ball in box and dropping into coverage. Could use additional strength, while focusing on improving hip flexibility.

Bottom Line: Reynolds’ film suggests he possesses most every physical and mental trait coaches want from an inside linebacker. If his standout athleticism at the high-school level translates to the Pac-12, he’ll be manning the middle of Utah’s defense sooner rather than later. Likely multi-year starter, with NFL ceiling.
