He finished his high school career with 5,981 passing yards, 5,631 rushing yards and 169 total touchdowns, plus 270 tackles and 24 interceptions on defense. He set state championship game records for the longest passing and rushing touchdowns, and he earned invitations to the Under Armour All-America Game and the Polynesian Bowl.
