'26 Harris Reynolds is a 6’4” point guard out of St. Pius X Catholic High School in Georgia. His recruiting process was bigger than a chase for offers. He took it as an opportunity to grow as a leader and it helped him learn the value of trusting in his work.

“Getting to build real relationships with college coaches and visit different campuses has been the most exciting part for me,” Reynolds said.

He knew early what he wanted in a college program.

“A family atmosphere, a fast-paced playing style, a chance to have a big role as a freshman, and coaches who push me to be my best on and off the court.”

When the process first started, he was just thankful to be noticed.

“At first, I was just grateful for any interest. Now I’m focused on finding the right fit where I can grow and win.”

His focus, patience and experiences are what led him to make a commitment to Clemson University.

“I’ve learned how important patience and consistency are. Everything happens on God’s timing,” he said, reflecting on the the experiences he gained during the recruitment process.

As soon as he steps a foot on the floor, you can feel the confidence that he brings, and it’s obvious that it comes from his preparation.

“My competitiveness, leadership, and how much I love to win,” he said when asked what stands out most about his game.

Despite the pressure that can come with being a high level D1 prospect, Harris has managed to stay well grounded.

“I just keep working, stay around my family and close friends, and remember why I started.”

That focus has been evident over the years with how he’s constantly expanding his game.

“I’ve been working a lot on my back-to-the-basket game for when I run into smaller guards,” he said.

Through it all, he has leaned on his family to help guide him along the way.

“They’ve supported me through everything and kept me humble.”

Now committed to Clemson, Reynolds knows exactly what made it feel right.

“When the coaches and players feel like family and I can see myself growing there.”

Before he steps foot on a college floor though, there is something he wants to make sure and leave behind at St. Pius X.

“I want to be remembered as the greatest basketball player to ever come out of my school, and a leader who helped change the culture and set a high standard.”

Reynolds’ story and his commitment are reminders that growth doesn’t just happen on the court. It comes from patience, faith and the work you put in when no one’s watching.
