Carter High School (Knoxville, TN) standout Garrett Reynolds enjoyed a fantastic junior season last year. The 6-7, 250-pound prospect earned all-county, all-league, and all-region honors as an offensive tackle last season. On defense, he made 74 tackles with three sacks, had one fumble recovery and four batted-balls.

Reynolds has been working extremely hard on 3 main things during the off-season. He feels he has succeeded in improving at least 2 of the 3 and continues to work hard on the other.

“I’ve been working on gaining weight, getting stronger, and my footwork,” Reynolds said. “Right now I’m 255-pounds, so I guess there still is a block there with my weight. I’m getting there though. Strength-wise, I do feel stronger. I have a 270 bench press, a 275 power-clean and a 350 squat. My footwork is getting better too.”

A hard-working, blue-collar type of player, Reynolds loves putting in the time in the weight room. In fact, Carter Head Coach Heath Woods believes Garrett to be one of the hardest working players he’s ever coached.
