Track-Speed LB with Redshirt Freshman Grit for WSU
Carsten Reynolds, a 6'3", 213-lb redshirt freshman linebacker for Washington State, stands out with elite track speed (three 100m times under 11.2s as a junior) and a versatile high school background as a QB and safety who earned conference defensive player of the year in 2023. Though he appeared in just one game in 2024 for South Dakota State before redshirting, he followed coach Jimmy Rogers to WSU and played all 12 games in 2025, showcasing intense practice habits and a dedicated, Cougars-embodying personality. His differentiator is the rare blend of speed, football IQ from multi-position experience, and redshirt resilience—making him a high-fit, intensity-driven prospect for teams needing a fast, adaptable LB with leadership potential.
