Leading the offense as the full-time starter for the first time this season, Brett McGovern Brett McGovern 6'4" | 190 lbs | QB Waterloo West | 2026 IA is holding down his starting position and has proven to be one of the more efficient quarterbacks in 5A through seven weeks.

With an unorthodox throwing motion, McGovern keeps the ball high and finds his open receivers. Give credit where it’s due — weapons like Doss, Annan and Deztin McMurrin Deztin McMurrin 6'0" | 175 lbs | WR Waterloo West | 2026 State IA make things more simple for him, and head coach Lonnie Moore and his staff do an excellent job of scheming up easy reads and throws. Don’t get it twisted, though. He shows patience and good decision making, too.

On Friday night in Cedar Rapids, he showed off how and why he’s been one of the most efficient quarterbacks in 5A so far this season. Finishing 18-of-22 (81.8%) for 195 yards, four touchdowns and no picks, McGovern was surgical against the Cougars.
