Not many high school football players get to finish their careers quite like future USC Trojan Puka Nacua did Friday.

Not only did Nacua lead Orem to its second straight title with a dominating 60-13 win in Utah's Class 4A championship game over Dixie, he broke a pair of state records in the process.

Nacua hauled in nine passes for 182 yards and two touchdowns, establishing new Utah marks for receptions and touchdown receptions in a season.

The 6-foot-2, 195-pound senior finished his final campaign with 103 catches for 2,336 yards and 26 touchdowns.

Nacua is regarded as the top prospect in Utah and one of the top wide receivers in the country by 247Sports.
247Sports has Puka Nacua pegged as Utah's top prospect from the Class of 2019.
