Will Hammond breaks national record with 807 total yards

HUTTO, Texas (BVM) – Hutto High School senior quarterback Will Hammond had as good a game as some other signal callers could have in a season. The QB recorded 715 passing yards with four touchdown passes along with 88 rushing yards and six additional scores to give him 807 yards and 10 total touchdowns during the team’s 82-80 loss against Liberty Hill on Friday night.

His 807 total yards set the National Federation of State High School Association record for yards in a game by an individual. In addition to that record, Hammond also earned the No. 5 spot nationally for passing yards in a game, the No. 12 spot in the nation for total touchdowns in a game, the No. 2 spot for passing yards in a game in Texas history and the No. 3 spot in total touchdowns in a game in Texas history.

This game comes in what has already been a remarkable year for the senior. In the Hippos season opener, Hammond threw for 410 yards and six touchdowns while rushing for 100 yards and another score, totaling 510 yards and seven scores. In just two games this year, Hammond already has 1,317 total yards, 1,129 passing and 188 rushing, with 17 total touchdowns and just one interception. 

Even before his final season at Hutto, Hammond was already seen as a star. As a junior, Hammond completed 59.1% of his passes for 2,763 yards, 30 touchdowns and five interceptions, while adding 728 yards and nine touchdowns on the ground. Given his stellar play, Hammond earned a four-star rating from 247 Sports, ESPN and Rivals.

As a top recruit in the Texas senior class, Hammond held 11 D-I offers including to Auburn, Oregon, Penn State Tennessee and Texas A&M, among others. However, Hammond ultimately decided to stay in-state, committing to Texas Tech last December.

Hammond’s standout performance rightfully earned the signal caller plenty of attention nationally. Perhaps the most special shoutout came from a former Red Raiders quarterback – Kansas City Chiefs star Patrick Mahomes.

Given his dual-threat ability on display with the Hippos, Hammond will hope to make Texas Tech fans reminisce about their former standout quarterback. With his record-setting performance, Hammond could be the next best signal caller in Lubbock in the future. Meanwhile, he will look to bring home some more hardware both individually and for Hutto as he finishes his senior campaign.
