Cy Woods All-Time Roster: Number 5

Brad Korndorffer, a starting wide receiver in 2008, was the first Wildcat to wear 5. He was one of the fastest players in the program and was a 1st-team All-District 15-5A selection after leading the Wildcats in receptions (40) and receiving yards (579).

Byron Moore, another wide receiver, wore 5 in 2009. He is a cousin of former NFL wide receiver Limas Sweed, who starred at UT before getting drafted in the second round by the Pittsburgh Steelers.

After wearing 21 as a playoff call-up in 2009, Fredrick Anderson became the starting running back and switched to 5 in 2010. That year, Fred set two records that were broken in 2014: most rushing yards in a season (1,036), and most rushing touchdowns in a season (20). He is tied with Samuel Stewart for third in Cy Woods history with 21 rushing touchdowns.

Fred moved on to the next level, playing at Prairie View A&M.

Cameron Lorch, a wide receiver/quarterback, wore 5 in 2012. His twin sister, Jordan, was a student trainer and played soccer for the Wildcats.

Jared Taylor, a wide receiver, made the varsity in 2013, his sophomore year. His older brother, James, swam at Cy Woods, and their cousin, Dominique Harris, was a standout wide receiver at Langham Creek.

Jared became a starter in 2014, finishing second on the team with 529 receiving yards and two touchdowns. As a senior, he served as a team captain for the 2015 season, alongside Austin Greaves, R.J. Harmon, and Tre' Hart. Jared also competed as a sprinter for the Wildcat and holds the school records in the 100 and 200 meters. At the District 17-6A meet in 2016, he finished first in the 100m and the 200m. He's the second Wildcat to win in the 100 at the district meet since Tyler Williamson did so in 2008 and 2009. Jared is also the second Wildcat to win the 200 after Bryce Callahan won it in 2010. He is the first Wildcat to win both events at one district meet.

Jared is continuing his track career at the University of Texas at San Antonio.

Jack Barrientez switched to #5 for his final two seasons at Cy Woods. He was primarily a running back in 2016 but ended up playing both ways as a safety, running back, and receiver in 2017. Jack also started the 2017 season opener at quarterback. His 99-yard touchdown reception against Cy Ranch in 2017 is the longest offensive play in Cy Woods history.

Tylan Foster, a linebacker/safety, was a late-season call-up in 2017, his sophomore year, and he wore #27. He switched to #5 for his first full season as a varsity football player, where he eventually became a starter in the middle of the season. Tylan was a 2nd-team All-District 14-6A selection as a senior in 2019.
