Jake Barnhorst was a dependable Air Force line anchor who helped power a top-tier run game
Jake Barnhorst’s value at Air Force was all about trench consistency and service-academy toughness: in the 2016 season, he played in 10 games and started eight, helping the Falcons average 317.4 rushing yards per game, third nationally, while the offense also averaged 452.2 total yards per game. He fits the classic Air Force mold—physical, assignment-sound, and low-drama up front, with academic and leadership chops to match. The big takeaway: he was the kind of OL who makes a run-first offense hum, even if the stat sheet barely notices.
