The athletic junior QB showed his explosive arm and ability to hit from outside the pocket connecting for multiple explosive scores. He's mobile dual-threat that can air it out in the vertical game and can stress the defense with his legs. McNeil's among Nevada's most productive passers this season with over 1,600 yards and 16 TDs with only 1 INT. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/McneilTyson10/status/1842616105593971183","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/McneilTyson10/status/1842616105593971183 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["281928"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6704b90b5ebeb"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Mann completed 19/24 passes for 233 yards and 2 TDs in Bishop Manogue's 42-35 win over Reed.

The 6'5"/245 TE/DE is looking stronger and more developed on both sides of the ball this season and proving why he was added to the 2026 WL last year. Scott's a player to keep an eye on in northern Nevada.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/17749015/670415bc573c3706a84c57a3' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6704b90b5eda4"} /--> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["876943"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6704b90b5edda"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Kraintz was highly efficient completing 7 of his 9 passes for 172 yards and 4 TDs in Elko's 62-21 win over Sparks. He also added a rushing score in the team's sixth straight win. The junior QB continues to show his ability to move the pocket and take care of the football with 0 INTs in his past four games. Kraintz and Elko face their toughest test of the season next week with a trip to Truckee in a matchup of two undefeateds.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/17887810/67040d242d3735715c8c8af1' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6704b90b5edf5"} /--> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">More Standouts</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Dylan Sullivan</strong><em> (LB / 2025 / Galena)</em> - 9 tackles, sack, 4 TFLs&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1112333' first='Colson' last='Kermode']<em> (ATH / 2025 / Galena)</em> - 2 total TDs, INT, 11 tackles&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1327307' first='Pele' last='Masina'] <em>(DB / 2025 / Bishop Manogue)</em> - 25 carries, 189 yards, 2 TDs</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='820679' first='Tommy' last='Williams'] <em>(QB / 2025 / Incline)</em> - 140 total yards, 5 total TDs&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Zack</strong> <strong>Jackson</strong><em> (RB / 2025 / Douglas)</em> - 21 carries, 181 yards, 2 TDs; 4 catches, 62 yards</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='698335' first='Kobe' last='Craig'] <em>(ATH / 2025 / Damonte Ranch)</em> - 24 carries, 168 yards, 2 TDs&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1112324' first='Nishaan' last='Bajwa'] <em>(QB / 2025 / Reed) </em>- 235 total yards, 4 TDs</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
