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.[3][4] Sinnett was named the Toreros starter going into his redshirt senior season.[5] 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.[6][7] 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.[8][9]
