Bobby Reynolds (June 27, 1931 - August 19, 1985) was an American football player. He was elected to the College Football Hall of Fame in 1984.

Playing career

Reynolds attended Grand Island High where he played both basketball and football, winning state team titles in 1947 and 1948 in both sports.[1][2] He attended the University of Nebraska–Lincoln where he became a First-Team All-American in 1950. A shoulder separation, broken leg, and lime-in-the-eye infection slowed him down the following two seasons. However, Reynolds still set then career records for scoring and rushing.[1]
