'08 OH QB Doug Reynolds (Eastern Illinois signee)

[wadc45]

Was going to start a thread on Doug a few days ago, but decided to hold off...now it looks like it is time to get one going...

FWIW, the Scout database has a profile for a '08 QB from Colerain named Kevin Reynolds...not sure if that is a mistake on their part, but I am going to wait until it is corrected before linking his profile on BP to there.

From OhioVarsity...ND and Illinois have invited Doug to Junior Days and he as already in Knoxville for UT's Junior Day. He is looking for a school with a strong sports medicine program.

Anything H&G can add from here on out would be great...

for starters, his name is Doug...no idea who Kevin is.

I sent off an email to osugrad late last night after the Colerain Stag once I got the inside scoop on Wisconsin and Tennessee. UT really, really likes Doug from what I am gathering. UC is a serious player because they do have a very good sports medicine program...but so does Tennessee. This is going to be an odd recruitment, IMO...Doug is a drop back passer with a big arm, but he will run the option again this coming season...its hard to get a gauge on a QB who never throws the ball....at least from a college recruiters perspective.
Doug is probably not fast enough to play any other position at that high of a level, though...he's a tweener in my opinon: not experienced enough of a thrower to be a top QB candidate, nor fast enough to be a top ATH....

HOWEVER, Doug is a well grounded kid with great parents. He IS a great student AND he could develop into a fine college drop back qb. He'll not be a top 'get' for somebody, but he will be a good gamble for somebody because he will graduate, conduct himself with class and represent his university the right way.

If I had to grade him, I'd give him 2 stars...Should play his way into a solid 3 stars before the end of his senior season. I don't think he gets to 4...But that doesn't mean I don't think he will be a good QB...there is just some risk involved because of him running an option offense.

Hope that helps, Wadc!

Ut is also after DC Jefferson pretty hard out of Florida, so not sure if that will play into their recruitment of Doug...
