Gritty Walk-On QB with Elite HS Pedigree, Limited College Snaps
Jarrett Synek, a 6-0, 200-lb Nebraska native and Hastings HS legend with 5,622 passing yards, walked on at Nebraska (1 game, 2022) before transferring to South Dakota, where as a 2024 junior he appeared in just one half, throwing for 51 yards, 0 TDs, and 1 INT.[1][5][6] His differentiator? Relentless underdog intensity—debuted vs. No. 3 Michigan—and dual-threat mobility (201 HS carries).[1][2] No major injury history, psych major with quiet fire; perfect fit for teams needing a smart, tough backup QB who elevates practice squads without ego.
