Reyes, who competes as a midfielder for the Crimson Tide, has played and started in 14 games this season, recording two goals and two assists for six points. During her rookie campaign at the Capstone in 2019, she scored three goals and earned SEC All-Conference First Team and All-Freshman Team honors. Additionally, she was named to the United Soccer Coaches All-Southeast Region Third Team.
Reyes has attended several camps, along with competing in multiple international tournaments, for Mexico's National Team. She was a member of Mexico's 2020 CONCACAF Women's U-20 Championship team and the 2018 CONCACAF Women's U-17 Championship team, placing second at both tournaments.
