The only VSU football player to be named an All-American three times in a four-year career, Sherard Reynolds played for Valdosta State from 2005 through 2008. He played wide receiver as a freshman and was named to the All-Gulf South Conference team before moving to safety the following year. Sherard was named an All-American in each of his last three seasons, during which he tallied 243 tackles. He is second all-time in VSU history with 14 interceptions and broke up 18 passes on his career. Sherard was also a threat in punt returns as he is second all-time in punt return yardage at 13.8 yards per return. In four years, he returned 68 punts for 937 yards and holds the VSU single season record for punt return yardage with 16.5 yards per return in 2006. Reynolds is also sixth on that list with 13.3 yards per return in 2007 and owns both the first and second highest single-game punt return marks in school history, having tallied 168 yards against Arkansas Tech and 154 versus Southern Arkansas, both during the 2006 season. He also owns two of the school’s Top 10 longest punt returns of all time as well as the eighth-best single season kickoff return average. He ranks 10th all-time in VSU history in career kickoff return yardage and also ranks among the Top 10 in single season passes broken-up, standing fifth with 12 in 2007, and in interceptions in a season, as he is third with seven in 2007.
