Freddie Lynn Haynes, known as Fred Haynes (March 29, 1946—November 5, 2006), was an American football player for the Louisiana State University Tigers from 1966 to 1968, having climaxed his three-season career by successfully quarterbacking both the Sugar Bowl in New Orleans and the Peach Bowl in Atlanta, in calendar year 1968. Because of his stature and weight, he did not play professionally after college but entered business in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
Haynes was born in Minden, the parish seat of Webster Parish in northwestern Louisiana, to Oscar Henry Haynes, Jr., and the former Freddie Louise Walker (born 1924), originally from the village of in northern . Both his father and grandfather, O. H. Haynes, Sr., served as sheriff of Webster Parish: O. H., Sr., from 1933 to 1952; O. H. Haynes, Jr., from 1964 to 1980. Sandwiched between the two was J. D. Batton, older brother of later Minden Mayor Jack Batton. He was named "Freddie" for his mother and "Lynn" for his paternal grandmother, Lynn Burns Haynes (1889–1971). Haynes' father was also the Exxon distributor in Webster Parish.
Haynes graduated in 1964 from Minden High School. He was a class officer each year of high school and played both offense and defense in football. He returned kickoffs and punts. In his senior year, Haynes scored sixteen touchdowns. For three years he started at quarterback and defensive back. He earned All-District designation in his junior year and both All-District and All-State in his senior year. He quarterbacked the team that went undefeated and won the AA state championship, 28-21, on December 6, 1963, over the strong competition from the combined census-designated places Larose and Cut Off in Lafourche Parish near Thibodaux in south Louisiana. The game, played in the Minden stadium, since named for principal W. W. Williams, Sr., climaxed Minden's first ever perfect football season and its fourth state grid championship. Haynes received the Joe Oliphant Award in both 1963 and 1964, an honor named for a late Minden coach, athletic director, and teacher. He was selected the "most valuable back" for three years, and he was a Louisiana State Football All-Star in his senior year. Haynes' father had also been a star Minden High School football player.
