Will Hefley, Pulaski Academy (Little Rock, Ark.)
Last Year: 4,152 yards
Pulaski Academy is known for never punting the ball. That means whomever is playing quarterback is going to throw the ball. A lot. Such has been the case as long as Kevin Kelley has been coach at Pulaski Academy. Hefley is the latest in a long line of quarterbacks who will finish with over 4,000 yards passing in a season.
Why he will lead the nation in passing: Pulaski Academy quarterbacks are traditionally among the national leaders. They also throw the ball often. In fact, the national record holder for attempts in a season, Wil Nicks, with 676, is from Pulaski Academy. So expect Hefley to definitely be in the running.
Why he won't: The only thing that will keep Hefley out of the race is an early exit from the playoffs.
