Dew leads all Nevada QBs in passing yards (833), TDs (10), and completions (42) through Foothill’s first two games. He totaled 423 yards and 6 TDs on 18/26 passing and added a rushing TD in their 45-7 win over Moapa Valley. He’s an athletic, mobile QB that can escape pressure and get the ball out with a quick, natural release. He’s accurate over the middle of the field and does a good job of keeping eyes downfield when scrambling. Dew picked up his first offer from D-II Minnesota-Duluth in April. Foothill hosts a strong Silverado team this Friday in one of the state’s games to watch.
Smith guided Liberty to a 34-30 victory over St. Louis (Honolulu, HI) with 347 yards and 3 TDs and another 2 TDs rushing. He flashed his natural arm strength on multiple explosive plays downfield both from the pocket and on the run. He linked up with standout 2024 ATH Jayden Robertson Jayden Robertson 5'10" | 170 lbs | ATH Liberty | 2024 State NV 10 times for 264 yards and 3 TDs.

Plotnikov continued his impressive production both through the air and on the ground with 260 yards and 3 TDs on 15/26 passing and another 8 rushes for 73 yards and 1 TD in Centennial’s 26-20 win over Palo Verde. He’s a natural playmaker with promising physical tools and athleticism. Centennial travels to Utah this Friday to face 2-1 Snow Canyon.
Alejado was efficient, productive, and had the offense operating at a high-level in Bishop Gorman’s 60-15 blowout win over Long Beach Poly (CA) at the Nike Football Classic (Beaverton, OR). He spread the ball around to BG’s talented corps of pass-catchers, totaling 329 yards and 2 TDs on 22/27 passing. Alejado and the Gaels host #6-ranked Central (Miami, FL) on Friday in one of the marquee matchups in the country this weekend.
