- Class:
- 2010
After a prolific career in 8-man football in Drummond, Reynolds went on to become one of Montana's greatest running backs of all time before spending five years in the NFL with the Seahawks and Rams.
At the time of his induction in 2025 he still held school records for career rushing TD's (52) and career total TD's (59) and has the 2nd most career rushing yards (4067), finishing his career just 3 yards shy of the school record of 4070 yards held by Grizzly Sports Hall of Famer Yohance Humphery.
He was a leader on Grizzly teams that went 46-8 (.852) overall and 28-4 (.875) in Big Sky play during his 4-year career including a 3-1 record against Montana State. The Griz won three conference championships in his four years and made back-to-back appearances in the National Championship game.
His name remained plastered all over the Grizzly record book with the most points scored not by a kicker in school history (354) and has the 3rd most all-purpose yards in school history (4958). He also owned the school record for most carries in a game (38) and two of the top five single game rushing totals (241 yards and 233 yards) as of his induction. He also rushed for three TDs in a single game on five different occasions.
Reynolds was a two-time finalist for the Walter Payton Award for FCS Offensive Player of the Year in 2009 and 2010. He was also a two-time All-American and two-time All-Big Sky honoree. He won the team's Steve Carlson MVP Award twice and was a two-time winner of the team's Terry Dillon Award for best back or receiver in 2008 and '09.
Quoting Reynolds: "It's an awesome, awesome feeling to be acknowledged as a Grizzly Sports Hall of Famer. I'm excited to be included in this year's class.
"I'm still shocked that a small-town kid with a big dream made it this far. I think back to all the guys I played with, all the coaches who coached me, my family, my wife and kids. This is really a tribute to everyone that believed in me and had a hand in helping me along the way in my football career."
