Israel set the state record for career passing yardage at the end of his junior year with 10,588 yards. However, when John Wolford of Bishop Kenny (Jacksonville, Fla.) threw for 539 yards in a 74-73 playoff loss to Clay (Green Cove Springs, Fla.), Israel fell back into second place as Wolford set the record with 10,603 career yards.
Israel thus needs just 16 yards to once again become the state's all-time leading passer. With 106 career touchdown passes, Israel needs 21 to break Wolford's mark of 126.
Wolford is also believed to be the state record holder for career completions and attempts with 705 and 1,080, respectively. Israel can blow away those marks, as he has 691 career completions and 1,054 career attempts.
