This is a bold proclamation since the 4,000 yard threshold has only been broken one time in the history of WI football. I believe that we could be seeing a perfect storm for a great opportunity to make a run at the number. Lake Mills averaged 245 passing yards/game in 2025. They return all their significant receiving threats from a year ago, and most importantly they have the best QB in the state at the helm.

The talent is definitely there to make every throw, make smart decisions, and dominate with ball placement. The team’s talent and experience is also there to potentially give Tyler a 14 game season to accomplish this. If they do make it to a state appearance, Tyler would need to average 285 passing yards per game. That is about 45 yards/game more than he had in 11 games in 2025. This is definitely a bold task, but you need the combo of individual talent, team talent, and team success. I believe Tyler Wollin Tyler Wollin 6'3" | 200 lbs | QB Lake Mills | 2027 State WI and Lake Mills have the best of that combo.
