Spiders' summertime offensive-line development centers on snapper John Yarbrough

An offensive line’s coordinator is the center, who calls coded blocking assignments before the quarterback’s cadence commences. This summer, University of Richmond center John Yarbrough will take that leadership role to another level.

Yarbrough, a 6-foot-5 285-pounder from Homewood, Ala., is the only starter returning on the Spiders’ offensive line. Yarbrough, a senior, will spend the next few months participate in non-football internships in the Richmond area, with his other summer job being an extension of what he did through 15 spring sessions: guide the newcomers on this offensive line to a place where they can support a team with several established play-makers.
