He completed 7-of-8 passes for 225 yards and three touchdowns, and he carried the ball twice for 26 yards and one touchdown. Harnett's longest touchdown pass of the game (86 yards) came on a play where he rolled out to his left and threw a nice touch pass on a go-route. The receiver was wide open, caught the pass in stride, and ran about 50 yards more for the touchdown. Hardnett has completed 24-of-35 passes for 543 yards, six touchdowns, and one interception in three games. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src=u0022https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/18168770/6aafc5a2f7698dcad2955b92u0022 width=u0022640u0022 height=u0022360u0022 frameborder=u00220u0022 allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6ab02d04cae41"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1894727"],"_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"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6ab02d04caeba"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Through four non-conference games, Herbert has thrown for 1,038 yards and four touchdowns. In a 28-7 win over Benedictine, he completed 17-of-26 passes for 238 yards, three touchdowns, and one interception. Three of those touchdown passes went to one of the DMV's best receivers, [player_tooltip player_id='945237' first='Carlos' last='Ferguson']. It's becoming crystal clear who the go-to guy is, and rightfully so. McDonogh's passing game is looking sharp right now. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>In his highlights against Benedictine, the first play shows him throwing a nice fade ball 25-plus yards down the left sideline off his back foot to Ferguson for a touchdown while being pressured. To me, he's doing a great job of getting the ball into his playmaker's hands. It's worth noting that there's a play in this week's highlights that shows upcoming opponents he can definitely burn you for yardage if he chooses to run out of the pocket. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Film from first 4 games⬇️⬇️<br>4-0<br>1038 yards<br>11tds<br>Conference play up nxt!<a href="https://x.com/QB_Factory?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@QB_Factory</a> <a href="https://x.com/McDonoghFB?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@McDonoghFB</a> <a href="https://x.com/McDCoachSule?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@McDCoachSule</a> <a href="https://x.com/PrepRedzoneMD?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@PrepRedzoneMD</a> <a href="https://x.com/EdOBrienCFB?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@EdOBrienCFB</a> <a href="https://x.com/tdhald?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@tdhald</a> <a href="https://t.co/HAkMUhg5DK">https://t.co/HAkMUhg5DK</a></p>&mdash; [player_tooltip player_id='1894727' first='Jackson' last='Herbert'] (@Jacksonherb11) <a href="https://x.com/Jacksonherb11/status/2101398491947835615?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 19, 2026</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1631065"],"_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"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6ab02d04caf11"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Howard-Brown had his best game of the season during a 35-13 win over River Hill. He caught six passes for 130 yards and two touchdowns, more than doubling his output in those categories in the first two games. If I were him, I would've put his second-touchdown catch in this week's highlights as the first play. He catches a short pass around River Hill's 26-yard line, starts to go inside but stops on a dime, breaks back to the outside to avoid the tackle, and accelerates the rest of the way for the touchdown. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src=u0022https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/19544851/6aaf23ea5016db6ddb676f8bu0022 width=u0022640u0022 height=u0022360u0022 frameborder=u00220u0022 allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6ab02d04caf35"} /--> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2407122"],"_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"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6ab02d04caf7c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Dickerson had his best game of the season during a 49-7 win over Kent Island this past weekend. He carried the ball for eight carries for 164 yards and two touchdowns, and he also intercepted a pass and returned it 102 yards for a score. On his 70-plus-yard touchdown run, he takes the handoff, sees the crease, and accelerates through it untouched down the right sideline for a long touchdown. Seeing him pull away from defenders at the third level gives a nice glimpse of his long speed in a game situation. On his 67-yard touchdown run, Dickerson does a nice job of pressing the linebackers at the second level and making them miss the tackle before breaking to the outside around the 50, racing the rest of the way for the touchdown. Kudos to the offensive line for opening up the holes on both runs and for the receivers blocking downfield for him. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src=u0022https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/19861641/6aadfc671a4f7b1730450e03u0022 width=u0022640u0022 height=u0022360u0022 frameborder=u00220u0022 allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6ab02d04caf9e"} /--> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
