Penn State commit Luke Reynolds now Top 100 prospect

This Penn State commit is not a top 100 player in the nation in the Class of 2024.

[autotag]Luke Reynolds[/autotag] has had himself a couple of great weeks.

The Penn State commit earned himself an invitation out to Los Angeles for the Elite 11 finals in June. Analysts and scouts say he might have been the most impressive prospect out of anyone who competed in State College, PA for the Elite 11 Regional.

Reynolds is a 6’4″ 220 pound tight end prospect from the state of Connecticut. When he committed to Penn State in late March, Reynolds was considered a three-star prospect.

That has now changed, with his name surging up recruiting boards.

247Sports has already moved him up their list as the 80th ranked prospect in the entire class of 2024. One week prior, he was the 299th overall player. Reynolds is now rated as the sixth best tight end in the class and the number one player in Connecticut.

The meteoric rise has come in part from the fact that he’s now focusing all his attention to the tight end position. Previously, Reynolds split time at quarterback for his high school. He made the decision to become a tight end full time which is clearly paying off for him.

Former Penn State tight end, Adam Breneman, was able to speak with Reynolds at the camp. Breneman had some high praise for the Connecticut prospect, comparing Reynolds to another former Penn State tight end.

Breneman told 247Sports, “He reminds me of when I first met [autotag]Mike Gesicki[/autotag] coming out of high school. That’s an easy comparison to make because I know Mike so well.”

He continued with his analysis saying, “The first thing I noticed about Luke was his confidence. … He wanted every single rep. He knew he was gonna win those reps every time he went up, and that’s the confidence, that’s the swagger that Mike always had.”

Reynolds is definitely a prospect to keep an eye on going forward as he eventually arrives on campus. He could be the next tight end that carries on the legacy of Penn Staters playing in the NFL.
