Ten months later, he finalized his plans to play college football 📝🏈

My baby brother Samuel is embarking on the biggest battle he’s ever had. He’s already proven his dominance on the wrestling mat and the football field countless of times. He is the toughest person I’ve ever known and God has equipped him with everything he needs. As we start…
God has opened a door for me at Odessa JC! I’m excited to say that is where I’ll be continuing my educational and baseball career! I would like to thank God, my family, coaches, teammates, and mentors I’ve had along the way!🔵⚪️

Humbled to have the opportunity to share my testimony at TCU FCA tonight. My identity and joy comes from my relationship with Jesus Christ. That is the rock I will build my life on.
Saying goodbye to years of gear. All this stuff is going to

in Uganda.
@GingoSamuel
teaches young kids how to play baseball and about the Christian faith. If you have any old equipment I suggest you check them out!
As we embark on the long journey as a family we ask that you keep Samuel, our family, and the medical team in your prayers as Samuel will have a great testimony after all of this is said in done. God is still good and we will praise him in the good times and the bad.
Could not have finished this fight without the grace of God!!! Thank you to all the doctors, nurses and prayers that helped me through this journey!

COMEBACK HAS STARTED!!!
Can’t wait to be back on the field and 3-peat in wrestling this year!!!
day one of chemotherapy I’m reminded that as tonight being the Last Supper leading to the Crucifixion of Jesus, how much Jesus loves us and how much he cares for us and how he did not abandon us on that cross and he will not abandon us now.
Fantastic night

come and share his story, and it was just electric. One of the coolest things about being a team chaplain is watching great leadership up close. God has placed some amazing people here. Really special.

. We can’t say enough about these guys! One of the best groups of blue collar hard working dirt bags ever! GOOD!
Samuel is going to show God what a great servant he had in him as God tempers the steel preparing him for bigger and better things down the road. When Jesus rose from the tomb on Sunday he reminds us of the promises he fulfilled to us and how he goes to make all things new…
God does not abandon those who go to war for him and that is all Samuel has ever done and so God will not abandon him now. I have always looked up to Samuel, quite literally, in the way he stoically carries out Gods will.
Happy birthday to the best man I’ve ever known! He’s going to hate me for posting this but without him our family is not complete, he is our rock. Happy birthday dad I love you!
I know what y’all are thinking… no I cannot beat him, yes I can out run him. Only one of those matters. But I am so proud of my baby brother y’all if he had only done 1% of the work he has put into this he would still be well deserving of this honor!
Someone’s gotta see it sooner or later… 690 pass attempts in the past two seasons with ZERO sacks given up as well as 241 pancakes. All while making time to be the number one ranked heavyweight wrestler in the state of Texas as the defending state champ. 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️🥞🥞
Sam Reynolds is one of the state’s best technicians and a powerhouse up front. Love that he has a wrestling background and that shows with his footwork and hand strength on tape.

He makes guys look like they are playing checkers while he’s playing chess!He’s put in the work and it’s showing! When schools take the blinders off and see what he’s all about they are going to get themselves not only a stud for fours years but leader.I’m so proud of you Samuel!

I am blessed to announce my commitment to continue my education and baseball career at the University of Texas. I would like to thank God, my family, and all my coaches along the way that helped make this possible! Hook ‘em 🤘
There is a young man at Odessa College who is the epitome of a Field General and if you’ve ever seen him you know it too
@TR_catcher9
is THE DUDE
Due to his morale compass and faith I’m leaving my usual verbiage out
I’ll put it this way - I hope my son turns out like him
Some 4 year is going to realize that a 6’2’’ bulldog in the trenches is a lot more valuable than some 6’7’’ “projectable” softy who doesn’t get the job done. Not to mention he is a state champion wrestler. You won’t find a harder worker who shoots big deer too.🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
I’m excited about my commitment to continue my education and baseball career at the University of Texas Arlington. Thank you to the UTA staff for giving me this opportunity. Special thanks to my family, Coaches at Odessa and teammates who have helped me along the way.
