The first returning senior of the group, Mason Hoy Mason Hoy 5'10" | 160 lbs | ATH Springville | 2026 State IA ran for 1,277 yards and 18 touchdowns on 140 carries in 2024. A small speedster, the game plan for Springville last year was mostly getting the ball to Hoy in space and letting him out-run the opposing defense. Hoy shows patience when running up the middle, and, with 22.84 200-meter track speed, he uses his long, bounding strides to run to the outside and outpace the defense to the endzone.

Hoy missed Springville’s matchup with Iowa Valley last Friday.

Eight-player opponents must have thought Springville had 16 guys on the field last season with half of them being Hoy. The junior impacted the proceedings in all three phases. He threw four touchdowns, rushed for 1,277 yards (9.1YPC) and 18 scores, caught 12 passes, collected 46.5 tackles, picked off four passes, recovered two fumbles and returned two kicks for TDs. Hoy’s junior highlight video contains the evidence for how he accomplished so much. A big part of the success stems from his speed and athleticism. They’re on a higher level than many of his competitors. Hoy takes direct snaps, makes people miss and blasts off. Defensively, he diagnoses plays quickly and breaks well on the ball.
