Two weeks into the football season and the student body is wondering about this player who is running for a 57-yard touchdown. They are buzzing about how he runs up on a teammate who is blocking a defensive back, and about how he soars over both players, momentarily riding atop the defender’s shoulders before landing feet first and continuing to the end zone.

That flashy touchdown is just one of 23 Darrell Jobe has rushed for this season — all this from a guy who simply shows up one day unannounced. The first fact that trickles out is that he is a transfer from Central High School.

Around the Winnetonka hallways, the early rap is that Darrell is quiet, shy, and the star of the football team.
