has been high on my radar for a while now. He is coming off an impressive junior year in which he threw for 2,791 yards and 33 touchdowns with eight interceptions. Litmer is an accurate passer, showing the ability to hit receivers out of their breaks with ease where they can make catches in stride. He has also shown the arm strength to stretch the field in the deep passing game. Mario has also shown the ability to tuck the ball and make plays with his legs when needed, finishing last season with 236 rushing yards and five touchdowns. Litmer doesn’t currently hold any offers but I expect some to come his way soon as he has received a good amount of college interest.

is a quarterback who has been high on our radar for a while now and continued to impress as a junior, completing 193/281 passes for 2,791 yards, 33 touchdowns, and eight interceptions in 14 games.

He has also shown the arm strength to lead his receivers down the field in the deep passing game. Litmer has also shown the ability to tuck the ball and use his speed to break away for big gains as a ball carrier, running the ball 68 times for 236 yards and five touchdowns last season. Mario has received some college interest and I wouldn’t be surprised to see some offers start coming his way soon.

Litmer was the first QB I got a chance to see in pool play. I would put him in the category of a ball distributor. He can make all the throws and throws with anticipation. Another thing I liked about him was his demeanor. He looked like a natural leader. It was cold and misty day and an 8am start and it felt like his positive energy really got his guys going.

Mario “Rio” Litmer is an electric 2026 quarterback out of Highland High School. Mario is a dynamic dual-threat player standing at 6’0 175. He had a standout junior season throwing for almost 3,000 yards and having 33 touchdowns. While Mario strives in the pocket picking apart defenses he also has the ability to extend plays on the ground.
