Among high school football's leading passers according to statistics submitted to MaxPreps, Lukas Prock of The Hun School (Princeton, N.J.) is coming off a huge performance Friday with 651 yards and eight touchdowns.

In a 64-0 win over Hewlett Sports Academy (Waldorf, Md.), the 6-foot-2, 190-pound sophomore completed 22 of 27 pass attempts. His 651 yards are the highest single-game passing yardage output in the country thus far in 2025.

According to the MaxPreps National High School Football Record Book, Prock's 651 yards would be a New Jersey state record. The Hun School is a member of the New England Preparatory School Athletic Council (NEPSAC) and not the member of the NJSIAA. Just last year, another Hun quarterback Jack Moran threw for 608 yards in a single game.

Prock, who holds 10 collegiate offers including Boston College, Illinois, Ohio State, Pittsburgh and Syracuse, is currently fourth on the national leaderboard for passing yards with 1,625.

Seven of the top 10 passers in the country come from Utah, which is already five games into the season. Most other states are only two, three or four games into the schedule. 

The current leader is three-star Boise State commit Tradon Bessinger of Davis (Kaysville, Utah), who has gone for 1,842 yards and 26 touchdowns. Friday against Olympus (Salt Lake City), Bessinger was 36 of 46 for 401 yards. His six touchdown passes gave him exactly 100 for his career.



The country's leader in passing yards per game is Thomas Buckmiller of Coronado (Colorado Springs, Colo.), who is averaging 462.7 yards per game over his first three outings. Last week, Buckmiller went over 500 yards for the second straight game with 558 and eight touchdowns against Cheyenne Mountain (Colorado Springs).
