Signing Day Extra: Kevin McReynolds
Name: Kevin McReynolds
Position: Defensive Tackle
Rank: 24(S) / 28(R) / 26(E)
Positional Need: 7/10
Outlook: McReynolds was UCLA's biggest signing-day coup, as he chose the Bruins over Kansas State and Syracuse, despite offers from over 40 schools.
McReynolds suffered a high ankle sprain that cost him a large chunk of his senior season, and he's still working his way back into good shape, but McReynolds could play a role next season for the Bruins.
While there is a strong defensive tackle corps rounding into shape, McReynolds is ready for the college game and has very solid "measurables."
A look at his video, mainly from his junior year, shows that he has good upper body moves, not just a bull rush, and he finishes his tackles. UCLA has struggled with tackling from the defensive tackle position, so perhaps McReynolds is a step in the right direction.
Immediate Impact: 6/10 - Even with a stockpile of young talent, McReynolds has the size and strength to compete early.
Overall Impact: 9/10 - McReynolds has the talent to be a high-impact player for the Bruins, long-term.
