Reynoso was the heartbeat of Centennial’s offense, the guy who kept them swinging long after most backs would’ve worn down. He was the reason they grabbed that second‑quarter lead and the reason they stayed in it as long as they did. Rushing for 201 yards in a state championship game says everything about both his talent and the trust this staff had in him. He ran with purpose all night — patient when he needed to be, explosive when the crease opened, and relentless through contact. Those four‑yard gains that turned into eight weren’t by accident; he was refusing to let the first defender end the play. It felt like every meaningful drive Centennial put together ran straight through him, and he answered every time. He did everything he could to drag his team toward a championship in his final high school game. Still, this was the kind of performance that sticks with people — a senior emptying the tank on the biggest stage and reminding everyone why he was one of the most dependable backs in the state.

The senior running back delivered an outstanding performance, amassing 264 total scrimmage yards and three touchdowns. He powered 21 carries for 222 yards on the ground and added three receptions for 42 yards through the air, showcasing his dual-threat ability and dominance in both facets of the offense. Career day for the RB.

Reynoso made a big jump in the rankings after making the most of his increased opportunities as a junior racking up almost 1,000 scrimmage yards and 11 total touchdowns. As a ball carrier, he presses the line quickly with a great ability to use his jump cut to make the first guy miss at the LOS. Flashes plus change of direction and short area burst to avoid contact and get to space. Like his versatility as a running back that can pick up tough yardage between the tackles, turn the corner to the outside, or catch the ball out of the backfield. Runs with good pad level and leverage to initiate contact while maintaining strong leg drive and forward momentum. Split carries throughout the season but was an impact player on Centennial’s run to the 6A state title. Jumped 27 spots to #67 overall and the fifth ranked RB in the 2026 class.

Rushing for a season-high 156 yards and getting his first multi-touchdown game of the year, he’s a huge reason Centennial’s offense was able to build up a 10-point lead in the fourth quarter — though they, unfortunately, weren’t able to hold onto it.
