The Synek family has become a familiar name on the Hastings College football roster, with three brothers each playing distinct roles for the Broncos.
Jarrett Synek, the team's starting quarterback, returns to the same field where he once starred in high school, now wearing the number four that he shared with his brother Tucker during their prep days.
Tucker Synek, the backup quarterback, has taken the opportunity to learn from Jarrett's experience, noting the value of mentorship as the younger sibling watches the game from the sidelines.
Coach Quintin Synek sees new respect
Wide receivers coach Quintin Synek reflects that his brothers now address him with the professionalism befitting a coach, a shift that underscores the evolving dynamics within the family.
The upcoming season opener on September 5 against Dordt University marks the first test of this renewed family chemistry, as the Broncos aim to translate their close‑knit bond into on‑field success.
Jarrett's journey from Nebraska and South Dakota to Hastings College illustrates a full‑circle story, having played his final high school games in Hastings before completing his college career on the same turf.
The Synek brothers' shared history, from high school number four to college competition, adds a narrative layer that resonates with fans and teammates alike.
As the Broncos prepare to take the field, the blend of experience, mentorship and familial respect promises to shape the team's early performances and perhaps influence the program's future direction.
