Jimmie Ward (15) on the far right, Darnell Bolding (44) dropping back in coverage, and for you youngsters, no the white guy wearing #6 is not Jordan Lynch.

Lynch was wering 14 that day and had a 90 yard TD that game.

#6 kind of looks like Garret Barnas, but I believe he wore 38 or so.

Barnas went to high school in my conference and was a 2A football monster and a 1A track star. Probably the most athletic kid I've ever seen at that level of football. He could have been a successful 7A or 8A player in Illinois.

Nope. Keep trying.

He was an amazing high school player. He would have been fine at any big school. He probably wouldn't have been a QB, but Naperville Central or Downers South would have loved having that kid.

Sadly, still no.

I will be very impressed if anyone gets this.

Was hoping someone would get it without having to call in the internet, but oh well...

I think he could have played QB for a dual threat offense or triple option.

He set a bunch of records at Harper JC. He was heavily recruited by Iowa and Syracuse to play QB but I think he had troubles qualifying academically out of high school.

I once saw him hurdle a dude that was close to standing about 4 and a half to 5 feet tall at the time of the hurdle, pretty crazy stuff.

He didn't pan out to a great college player but he was very athletic.

He had a terrific 2 years as Harper CC's QB. Won bowl games with them

Barnas played a big role of NIU beating Temple at Huskie Stadium. He had a hell of a game that day.

Jody was a favorite of Peej. He was always coaching him up in practice.

I wonder if Cole Van Laanen, an OT from up Green Bay way is related to Jody. Van Laanen was a great high school wrestler and his senior year, lost to a friends son in the 189 finals.
