Louisiana Tech announced the signing of Jack Reynolds, a redshirt senior infielder who completed his most recent stint at the University of South Carolina. The move bolsters the Bulldogs' roster as they look to contend in the upcoming season, bringing a blend of experience, versatility and a strong offensive track record.
From South Carolina to the Gulf Coast
Reynolds began his college career at Clemson, where he redshirted as a true freshman in 2023 and contributed to a team that captured the ACC Tournament title and hosted an NCAA Regional. Before that, he spent two seasons at Gulf Coast State College in Panama City, Florida, earning All‑Panhandle Conference honors as a redshirt freshman and posting a .369 batting average with 8 home runs, 11 doubles, 23 walks and 40 RBI.
College statistics and performance
During his redshirt sophomore season at South Carolina, Reynolds appeared in 17 games, starting seven, and recorded a .283 average with four round‑trippers. He scored five runs, drove in one, and was hit by three pitches, showcasing his ability to get on base and contribute in key moments. His debut came on February 13 against Northern Kentucky, where he scored a run, and he later drove in a run in a victory over Wofford on February 17.
High school pedigree and rankings
A native of Columbia, South Carolina, Reynolds stands 5‑foot‑11 and attended P27 Academy before committing to college. He was ranked the No. 1 shortstop and No. 4 overall player in the state by Perfect Game for the class of 2022, and he earned a preseason Underclass All‑Atlantic Region First Team nod in 2021. His high school career culminated with a state championship and a Perfect Game Preseason Underclass All‑Atlantic Region First Team selection.
What the addition means for Louisiana Tech
Reynolds' blend of power, contact hitting and defensive versatility offers the Bulldogs a reliable option at infield. His experience in high‑stakes games, including an ACC Tournament championship and regional participation, should provide a steady presence in clutch situations. Coaches expect his proven track record to translate into immediate contributions both at the plate and in the field as the team aims to elevate its performance in the conference.
