Shelton Reynolds '27 Recruiting Profile

I was born with cerebral palsy, but I have never let it define what I can achieve on or off the field. My condition challenged me to adapt, and through dedication and persistence, I developed a unique skill that sets me apart as an athlete. I catch the ball, remove my glove, throw it back with the same hand, and put my glove back on—all in about five to six seconds. What some may see as a limitation, I see as proof of determination, creativity, and resilience.

Beyond the game, I am equally committed to pursuing a strong academic career. I take pride in my work ethic, both in improving my skills on the field and in maintaining focus in the classroom. My goal is to keep a high GPA and ensure that I succeed in both areas—continuing to grow as a student-athlete who values discipline, perseverance, and balance. I believe my story reflects not just my ability to makeplay the game, but also my commitment to excellence, whether it’s on the diamond or in my studies
