A preseason D3football.com All-American in 2018, Reasnover capped his decorated four-year career with an outstanding senior campaign, rushing for 2,187 yards and 40 touchdowns to be named Northern Athletics Collegiate Conference Offensive Player of the Year. He ran for 125 yards or more in all 10 of the Red Devils' regular-season contests, including five 200-yard games and back-to-back 300-yard games at Concordia (Wis.) on Oct. 27 and Lakeland on Nov. 3. Reasnover broke the single-game NACC record with five rushing touchdowns against Wisconsin Lutheran on Oct. 6 and went on to match his own record in each of the next four weekends.

Reasnover finished the 10-game regular season as the NCAA Division III leader in rushing touchdowns and total points scored. His final scoring total of 252 fell eight points shy of tying the single-season Division III record.

Reasnover's single-game records were set with 355 rushing yards against St. Scholastica on Oct. 28, 2017 and seven touchdowns at Martin Luther on Nov. 4, 2017.

He was the 10th player in NCAA Division III history to reach the 6,000-yard plateau and his 600 career points were third-most in Division III history.

Reasnover is one of 13 finalists for the Gagliardi Trophy, awarded annually to the most outstanding player in NCAA Division III. Four finalists will be revealed Thursday, Dec. 6 and the winner will be announced on Friday, Dec. 14.
