2012 Football Recruiting Profile: Reggie Love

Jimmy Howard, Brad Boyes

Wisconsin may be losing a big target in Nick Toon at WR, but it’s a very deep position that just lacks a known quantity to step up.  Add Reggie Love into the mix as he’s the only WR in the class of 2012 for the Badgers.  

Profile: 

Position: Wide Receiver

Height: 6’3″

Weight: 200lbs.

Hometown/High School: Boca Raton, FL/ Spanish River Community 

 

Rankings: 

247sports: 3* #182 – WR, #191 – state

ESPNRN: 2* #176 – WR, #846 – region, #301 – state 

Rivals: 3* NR in state, position, or nationally

Scout: 3* #174 – WR

 

Quick Thoughts: 

– Love is big, fast, and strong.  He clearly was a man amongst boys at the high school level.

– He doesn’t shy away from contact and is capable of making the first man miss.

– It’s clear he uses his hands well but his route running will need to improve and with Zach Azzanni as his new position coach I fully expect that out of him.  2012 may not be the year he breaks out, but don’t be surprised to hear more of him in 2013, he’s just too physically gifted not to see the field.

Any doubts, take a look at this highlight reel from the 1st half of his senior season:
