Reid Sinnett (born February 5, 1997) is an American professional football quarterback for the Madrid Bravos of the European League of Football (ELF). He played college football for the San Diego Toreros.

Early life and high school

[edit]

Sinnett grew up in Johnston, Iowa, and attended Johnston High School. As a senior, his only year as a starter, he passed for 2,202 yards and 16 touchdowns. Lightly recruited out of high school, Sinnett originally had an offer from Penn before a change in the coaching staff. He eventually decided to enroll at San Diego at the recommendation from a former Penn coach that he contact the team's offensive coordinator, Tanner Engstrand.[1][2] He also received preferred walk-ons from Kansas, Harvard, Iowa State, Rhode Island, and Yale.[3]

College career

[edit]

Sinnett redshirted his true freshman season. He spent the next three seasons as the backup to Anthony Lawrence, who became the all-time leading passer in Pioneer Football League history, and passed for a total of 316 yards with one touchdown pass on 24-of-48 passes during that span.[4][5] Sinnett was named the Toreros starter going into his redshirt senior season.[6] In his only season as a starter, Sinnett completed 66.9 percent of his passes for 3,528 yards, 32 touchdowns and 10 interceptions while rushing for 174 yards and six touchdowns and was named first-team All-PFL and a finalist for the Walter Payton Award.[7][8] Following the end of his collegiate career Sinnett played in the NFLPA Collegiate Bowl and completed 9 of 16 passes for 93 yards in the game.[9][10]
