Top returning NCHSAA football stat leaders in 2024: 2A Quarterbacks

Throughout the month of April, we'll have some kind of football preview coverage released to HSOT Insiders each day.

Today is a look at the top statistically returning passers in the 2A classification in a number of different categories that you usually don't see, as bulk totals can be deceiving at times.

We have four sections: Yards/Game, Yards/Attempt, Completion Percentage, and Touchdown-to-Interception ratio.

Note: If your player's stats have not been published to MaxPreps or have not been sent to me, they are not going to be included below.
