Brady White, Hart (Newhall, Calif.)
Last Year: 4,535 yards
White was the ninth-leading passer in the country last year and No. 2 in California behind Browning. Hart figures to be high-powered again on offense, making for another big year for White.
Why he will lead the nation in passing: Hart quarterbacks have a long legacy of putting up gaudy passing numbers, including recent NFL quarterbacks Kyle Boller and Matt Moore. White has already made his mark by throwing for 4,535 yards, just 300 yards off the school record. He also has one of the nation's top returning receivers in Trent Irwin.
Why he won't: Hart dramatically increased its passing attempts last year by over 200 from the previous season. White will have to continue to receive that type of confidence from his coach in order to make a run at the national passing lead. Another deep run in playoffs will also help.
