4 Questions with Daejon Reynolds
Grayson | WR | Senior
“No, I first started playing receiver in eighth grade. I always used to play quarterback. I played quarterback before, but my first year playing, I played center. And then I was moved to running back, and I played running back all the way up to seventh grade. Then I was getting taller and more lanky, so I moved to receiver and a little bit of defensive back too.”
2. What is one moment in your football career that you will never forget?
“Something I will never forget is last year when I played at Central Gwinnett, the first play of the game against Dacula. We did a play, and we had been practicing this play all week. … I had the quarterback fake a screen to me, and I ran a go-route. The ball was low key a bad ball, and I had to go over top of the defender to catch the ball, and I scored on the first play of the game. That is a play that I will never forget.”
3. How did you get injured, and how have you kept such a positive attitude after your injury?
“I got hurt this season when we had a green and gold game at Grayson. I had ran a route, and my foot got caught in the grass, and I tried to turn right, and my knee buckled. I couldn’t lock it out. I went to the doctor, and they said I had a torn meniscus, and so I had to have surgery. At first, after my injury it was hard. I wished I was playing, especially with the team that we have now at Grayson. But I became more positive. I don’t really dwell on the past too much, and I believe in God, and I believe that God will work out my future.”
4. If you were talking to a young athlete, what advice would you give them?
“My best advice would be just keep your head down because you never know who is watching. I learned that a lot in high school. Just don’t get involved in critics and media and stuff like that. Just keep your head down and work hard.”
