, he showed plenty of promise in his first year leading the Little Hawks’ offense. Kabaiza completed nearly 66% of his passes for 1486 yards, 16 TDs, and 13 INTs while adding 176 rushing yards (4.3 YPC) and a rushing TD. A dynamic athlete with a strong frame, Kabaiza showed plenty of range as a passer, taking shots down the middle and down the sideline with plenty of distance, and he looked poised in the pocket, even under pressure, being willing to take a hit as he makes his throws down the field. Kabaiza will look to fine tune his mechanics and help Iowa City High back toward contention in the 5A conference in 2026.

I caught Kabaiza in action while he was sharing quarterbacking duties during City High’s matchup with Norwalk this season. You could see the makings of an impactful player with further development. The progress he experienced in 2025 lets us know that it’s possible with offseason training and the sharpening of skills. It all leads to better consistency. As it were, Kabaiza completed 65.7 percent of his passes for 1,486 yards and 16 touchowns against 13 interceptions. He added 176 yards (4.3 YPC) and a score on the ground. While Kabaiza prefers operating from the pocket, he can move and stress defenses with his legs, whether running or scrambling to keep plays alive off of schedule. As we can witness when watching his 10th-grade highlight video, he succeeds with a quick release and zip on his throws. Kabaiza looks comfortable passing while rolling out to either direction. Arm strength is not a problem.
