Athletic upside is readily apparent and makes him one of the top prospects at the position in the 2024 cycle. Older for the cycle, turning 19 years-old in February of his senior year.

A number of skill players rolled through the Elite 11 Finals, working as pass-catchers on Day 1 and Day 2 and playing 7-on-7 on Day 3. No player among that group was more impressive than Luke Reynolds. For one, the Penn State pledge seemingly ran hundreds of routes without showing noticeable fatigue. Reynolds backed up his top notch combine athleticism by showing excellent burst and change of direction within his routes. He also showed reliable hands and some physicality in contested situations.
