Johnson was one of three leading rushers for Arbor View last season totaling 400 yards and 5 TDs on 44 carries as a freshman. He’s quick and elusive at the LOS with ability to stick his foot in the ground and explode through the first level. He shows pad level and balance through contact and can bounce off tackles in the open field. Johnson’s an exciting young athlete that should only continue to put his name on the radar with more opportunities.
Highlights
Stowers checks in as the top 2026 QB in NV after showing promising talent for Desert Pines as a freshman. He flashed glimpses of arm strength and accuracy from the pocket and shows some comfort level going through progressions. He has good early size at 6′ with a strong frame that can continue to add and hold weight. Stowers will certainly be a name to watch with more playing time as a sophomore.
Day is an athletic, mobile passer with a strong arm capable of pushing the ball downfield. He was effective as an option-QB for Faith Lutheran’s freshman squad showing flashy speed and elusiveness with the ball. He has a natural throwing motion and possesses the accuracy to hit WRs on the run with his deep ball. Day’s tools and athleticism should continue to help him rise the ranks of NV’s 2026 QBs.
Young’s an athletic ball-carrier out of the backfield with appealing speed and playmaking ability. He’s shifty in traffic and can make defenders miss 1v1 on the perimeter. He’s quick-footed and shows burst breaking away at the second level. Young will look to compete for playing time and touches in a crowded Shadow Ridge backfield with other talented playmakers.
