weird problem

i have a friend with a 1995 sunfire 5spd, and he told me that his clutch is fried. so i get in the car, push in the clutch, and go thru all the forward gears and nothing happens. i put it into reverse and it engages.
is it possible that a fried clutch would catch reverse everytime but none of the forward gears.
did these cars have other 5spd issues that could be causing this, etc.
all input is appreciated.
