He showed great hands, ball skills, and concentration completing multiple catches against tight coverage.

The first-year starter has broken out as one of northern Nevada's most efficient passers with 1,500 passing yards and 22 TDs with only 1 INT on the season. He's an accurate distributor of the football that shows good ball placement to all areas of the field and can move the pocket to extend plays. Tucker will be a new name in the 2026 rankings in the next update.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/ryder_tucker18/status/1980003146203369596","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/ryder_tucker18/status/1980003146203369596 </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-68f6d4de30aca"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Mann completed 21/25 passes for 340 yards and 3 TDs in Bishop Manogue's shootout win over Reed on Friday. The Nevada-commit has continued to dominate in-state competition after leading the Miners to a state championship a season ago. He's one of the most talented passers in the state with the combination of athleticism, arm strength, and accuracy he brings to the table. Mann has passed for over 1,700 yards and 21 TDs this season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/BrandonB52Mann/status/1979701974728880205","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/BrandonB52Mann/status/1979701974728880205 </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='1218616' first='Keeshawn' last='Love'] (RB / 2026 / Fernley) - 13 carries, 199 yards, 2 TDs; 3 sacks</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='890039' first='Tyson' last='McNeil'] (QB / 2026 / Spanish Springs) - 25/33, 287 yards, 4 TDs</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>McCoy McArtor</strong> (QB / 2027 / Spring Creek) - 316 total yards, 4 TDs</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1544593' first='Braylon' last='Wilson'] (QB / 2026 / Reno) - 143 total yards, 4 TDs</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='854252' first='Bronwyn' last='Rios'] (RB / 2026 / Reed) - 20 carries, 189 yards, 3 TDs</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1802811' first='Amir' last='McGruder'] (DB / 2026 / Bishop Manogue) - 100 yards, 3 TDs; 12 tackles</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Miah Milan</strong> (LB / 2029 / Damonte Ranch) - 8 tackles, 3 sacks, 2 TFLs</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1576344' first='Mikole' last='Almond'] (QB / 2026 / North Valleys) - 15/22, 209 yards, 5 TDs</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1557724' first='Joey' last='Thomas III'] (DB / 2026 / Bishop Manogue) - 8 catches, 150 yards, TD</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
