65% completion | 29 passing TDs | 4 rushing TDs | 5 INTs

Dougherty brings prototype size and impressive arm talent to the position. He’s put together a productive season, throwing 29 touchdown passes while completing 65% of his attempts and adding another four scores on the ground. What stands out is the combination of physical tools and production. Dougherty has shown poise and anticipation beyond his years, and he’s done a good job giving his offense opportunities to make plays. He’s not simply relying on arm strength; the ability to read the field, deliver with timing and make decisions under pressure will continue to be important parts of his development. His combination of size, arm talent and production makes him a quarterback to monitor closely.

I’m not sure how a 6-6 quarterback with multiple years of production can still be overlooked, especially with what Dougherty is doing this season. He’s one of the top statistical leaders in the state right now with over 1,500 passing yards and 19 touchdowns. The size immediately stands out, but he also has a big-time arm and can push the ball downfield while working the entire route tree. There aren’t many quarterbacks available in this class with his combination of height, arm talent and production. Dougherty should be one of the more talked-about seniors in the state as the season continues.
