Early life and high school

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

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]
