He was a preferred walk-on in the vaunted 2017 class, having locked down Tarik Black back when the two faced each other as high school football players in the state of Connecticut. But now, he’s moving on.
Hunter Reynolds slowly, but surely, started to see the field more and more, first on special teams before he found a role in the defensive backfield at safety. Having played 182 snaps in 2020, it seemed like he had an opportunity to be in the rotation in 2021, especially since he’s been on scholarship the past few seasons. However, the outspoken Reynolds — who was an advocate this offseason for student-athletes in the #WeWantToPlay movement, as well as the sub-coalition for the Big Ten in the same vein — appears to be heading elsewhere.
According to the Detroit Free Press’ Rainer Sabin, Reynolds has entered the NCAA transfer portal.

Reynolds was placed on scholarship by the Wolverines over two years ago, having received that honor back in Jan. 2019. He saw extended time in 2020 when Brad Hawkins went down with injury, notching 16 tackles with one for loss over the course of the six-game season.
With 2020 being a free year per the NCAA, he’ll have three seasons of eligibility at his disposal, despite having joined the Wolverines back in 2017.
