<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Today we will be taking a look at some of the top passers in 3A.

Completing 114 of 163 passes for 2,098 yards, Buckmiller has thrown 24 touchdowns while limiting mistakes with just four interceptions. His arm strength and accuracy allow him to carve up opposing defenses, and his ability to make quick reads keeps the offense in rhythm. A true pocket passer with confidence and poise, Buckmiller has consistently elevated his team's aerial attack. As scouts begin to turn their attention toward small school prospects, Buckmiller's production and leadership make him a name to circle as one of the top quarterback talents in the division.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1309004"],"_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-68ee95a5852d5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Herrera continues to impress as one of the most dynamic dual-threat quarterbacks in 3A. Completing 91 of 138 passes for 1,392 yards and 15 touchdowns, Herrera's efficiency through the air is matched by his ability to make plays with his legs. On the ground, he's added 231 rushing yards, forcing defenses to account for him on every snap. His composure in the pocket combined with his mobility gives his team a balanced offensive attack capable of exploding at any moment. As his squad looks ahead to the postseason, Herrera's leadership and versatility will be critical factors in their playoff success.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1634960"],"_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-68ee95a585329"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Blakey has quietly become one of the most consistent and productive quarterbacks in 3A this season. Completing 93 of 165 passes for 1,330 yards and 17 touchdowns, Blakey brings a steady command to his team's offense. His vision and pocket awareness allow him to distribute the football effectively, keeping defenses guessing. While he'll look to improve his completion percentage heading into the back half of the season, his ability to make big throws when it matters most continues to set him apart. Blakey's leadership and reliability under center have his team trending upward as they prepare for a strong finish.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1644489"],"_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-68ee95a585381"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Hopkin has showcased strong pocket passing ability this season, completing 69 of 128 attempts for 1,238 yards and nine touchdown passes. While turnovers have occasionally slowed drives, Hopkin's ability to stretch the field and challenge defenses vertically keeps his offense explosive. He's also added a rushing touchdown, though his focus remains on commanding the passing game. As the season progresses, Hopkin will aim to sharpen his decision making and reduce turnovers, positioning himself as a complete and reliable field general. His calm demeanor and willingness to take calculated risks make him a quarterback capable of leading his team deep into November.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1621506"],"_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-68ee95a5853e8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Volf is the definition of fearless on the field. A true dual-threat weapon, Volf has thrown for 1,213 yards and 19 touchdowns on 70 completions while also rushing for 311 yards and another score. His aggressive style of play and competitive edge make him a nightmare for opposing defenses. Though he's thrown 10 interceptions, his confidence never wavers, he keeps attacking and giving his team opportunities to win. Volf's athleticism allows him to escape pressure and create plays out of nothing. As the season enters its final stretch, expect Volf to continue being the spark that drives his offense forward.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1430362"],"_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-68ee95a58544b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Abramson has shown steady growth as a pocket passer throughout the season, throwing for 1,017 yards and 12 touchdowns. Completing 75 of 148 passes, Abramson has battled through tough defenses and continues to refine his mechanics and accuracy. His poise in the pocket and willingness to take shots downfield give his team a vertical element that keeps defenses on their heels. While he'll look to raise his completion percentage, his leadership and ability to rally his offense remain undeniable. Abramson is trending in the right direction as he gains more confidence each week and continues to deliver for his program.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
