Custer Reynolds played football for Morehead State in the early 1940’s. He was a standout running back, who played at a time when the sophisticated stats of today were not available. It is documented that during one season, on five occasions, he reeled off runs of greater than 60 yards.

A native of Buckhorn in Harlan County, Ky., Reynolds was nicknamed the “Bull of Buckhorn.” He was named to the All-Kentucky Intercollegiate Athletic Conference team as a fullback. The late Earl Ruby, the highly respected columnist for the Louisville Courier Journal for many years, called him the best fullback in the entire state during his career at MSU.
