In his first season Texas A&M, in 2014, Reynolds caught 52 passes for 842 yards and 13 touchdowns.

Going into his senior season Reynolds had the choice of entering the National Football League Draft or staying for his final year with Texas A&M. In October 2015 the National Football League (NFL) ranked Reynolds as the sixth-best prospect in college football.[11] Reynolds chose to stay at Texas A&M. He is currently leading A&M in receiving touchdowns (6) and receiving yards (586).[12]
