Playing career
Reynolds attended Grand Island High where he played both basketball and football, winning state team titles in 1947 and 1948 in both sports.[1][2] He attended the University of Nebraska–Lincoln where he became a First-Team All-American in 1950. A shoulder separation, broken leg, and lime-in-the-eye infection slowed him down the following two seasons. However, Reynolds still set then career records for scoring and rushing.[1]
