Many of Utah’s high school football teams love putting the ball in the air, at least according to the national statistics. In fact, according to rivals, six of the top nine individual passing yardage leaders in the country are from Utah.
It’s important to note that most teams in Utah have already played eight games, which is more than some other places. Still, these numbers are impressive.
The national passing yards leader is Tadon Bessinger, from Davis High, with 3,036 yards. He also has 37 touchdowns against just two interceptions.
Bessinger is committed to Boise State. 247 Sports has him listed as a 3-star player and the 24th rated quarterback in the 2026 class.
Not far behind are Payson’s Trevyn Wall (third nationally at 2,645 yards), Mountain Ridge’s Jaxon Hunt (fourth at 2,583), Skyline’s Xavier Cocci (sixth, 2,377), Sky View’s Jack Clark (eighth, 2,363 yards) and West Field’s Easton Eilertson (ninth, 2,358).
The other three players in the top nine are Lehman Catholic, Ohio’s Turner Lachey (second, 2,795), Hun, New Jersey’s Lukas Prock (fifth, 2,454) and West Jefferson, Ohio’s Austin Buescher (seventh, 2,377).
Any way you slice it, six of the top nine passers from one state is impressive. Well done, Utah.
