The Cougars' senior signal-caller has been one of Nevada's most productive and efficient passers with 2,430 passing yards and 36 TDs with only 4 INTs on the season. He continues to show his accuracy from the pocket and ability to distribute on-time to every area of the field. McNeil is one of the biggest QB stock risers in the state this season and is playing the position at a high level coming down the stretch. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/McneilTyson10/status/1982138446388077038","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/1982138446388077038 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1617115"],"_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-68ffe83445060"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Esparza rushed for 273 yards and 2 TDs on just 16 carries in Fernley's 50-27 win over Dayton on Friday. The 2028 watchlist prospect has been most productive on defense (47 tackles, 3 sacks, 6 TFLs) this season but showed his playmaking ability with the ball in his hands in the standout performance. Esparza's a player to keep an eye on on both sides of the ball as he continues to earn opportunities and make plays on the defensive end. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1579328"],"_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-68ffe834450e1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Melendy handled 9 carries for 136 yards and 3 TDs in Churchill County's 56-9 victory over Lowry on Friday. The Greenwave leading rusher has racked up nearly 1,200 rushing yards and 19 TDs in his standout senior season after rushing for over 1,000 yards and 12 TDs as a junior. Churchill County sits at 9-1 on the season heading into the playoffs.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1644999"],"_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-68ffe83445150"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Langbehn caught 9 passes for 176 yards and 2 TDs in Reno's narrow loss to Carson on Friday. The state's #24 senior wideout showed his explosive playmaking ability and vertical skillset on several downfield catches and continues to put his name on the radar of northern Nevada WRs. Langbehn has totaled 540 receiving yards and 7 TDs on 35 catches heading into Reno's final league game against North Valley's this week.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/ChaseLangbehn05/status/1982652288197165149","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/ChaseLangbehn05/status/1982652288197165149 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">More Standouts</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1544593' first='Braylon' last='Wilson'] (QB / 2026 / Reno) - 388 total yards, 3 TDs</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='876953' first='Johnathan' last='Alvarado'] (LB / 2026 / Carson) - 32 carries, 152 yards, TD</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1879956' first='Riott' last='Duke'] (RB / 2027 / Elko) - 11 carries, 100 yards, 2 TDs </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1892541' first='Jackson' last='Sundeen'] (WR / 2026 / Spanish Springs) - 6 catches, 130 yards, TD</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
