High School Benchwarmer Makes Epic Highlight Video

Jack Lenihan is a senior wide receiver at Barrington High School in Illinois. He's 5'11, 145lbs and is a backup who rarely sees the field.

Needless to say, he is not a top recruit. In fact, he is not being recruited at all.

However, that didn't stop him from making a very well-produced, dramatic highlight video.

Nicknamed, "The Lenihan Factor," the two and a half minute film spotlights him standing on the sideline. He only gets on the field once, and when he does, he drops a lightly tossed screen pass.

At the end of the tape, he inserted a graphic that says "Division 1 Offers Only."

Let's give "The Lenihan Factor" credit for having a great sense of humor. After all, the video has nearly 430,000 views.
