Jack Reynolds, a 2026 graduate of Riverview High School in Pennsylvania, has decided to spend a post‑graduate year at Kiski School, a private institution known for its strong athletic and academic offerings.
Reynolds first picked up a football in seventh grade, playing in a local flag‑football league before the pandemic halted many youth sports. When restrictions eased, he tried out for the school team and quickly discovered a passion that would shape his senior year.
During that period his mother noticed a marked change in his focus and confidence, a shift that coincided with a dramatic rise in his grades, culminating in a 3.7 GPA.
His on‑field production also grew, with 110 career tackles, 34 for loss, and eight sacks, numbers that caught the eye of a recruiter from Kiski School.
Why Kiski?
The recruiter highlighted the school’s personalized coaching, resources for creating highlight reels, and guidance on building a professional social media presence, all of which appealed to Reynolds and his mother.
Looking Forward
On May 14, Reynolds formally committed to the post‑graduate program, citing the blend of academic rigor and football development as the key draw. He plans to use the extra year to refine his technique, expand his network, and position himself as a stronger candidate for college admissions, hoping the experience will set him apart from peers who transition directly from high school to college.
