Davis High School enters the 2026 season as the clear favorite in Region 1, riding the momentum of a strong 2025 campaign that culminated in a heartbreaking loss to Lone Peak in the 6A quarterfinals.
At the heart of the offense is Bode Sparrow, the 2025 Mr. Football award winner and reigning 6A Player of the Year, who amassed 1,218 receiving yards and 16 touchdowns last season.
Joining Sparrow is Utah commit Jaxton Itaaheau, a versatile playmaker who recorded 951 receiving yards, 11 touchdowns and five rushing scores, earning a spot on the 6A All‑State Second Team.
Adding depth to the receiving corps is transfer Brodie Scheinberg, a junior who transferred from St. John Bosco and attracted scholarship offers from several Division I programs.
Coaching Outlook
Head coach Scott Peery, now in his fourth year at the helm, believes the team’s talent and experience give them a realistic chance to finally break through after years of near‑misses.
Syracuse, the preseason runner‑up, will rely on third‑year quarterback Ledger Wight, who threw for 1,785 yards and 22 touchdowns, supported by a defensive unit anchored by Kaleb Hall.
Meanwhile, Farmington and Weber are slated to rebuild, with the Phoenix needing to replace key starters after a 5‑6 record, while the Warriors bring back offensive standouts Carter Payne and Creed Devries.
Layton, sitting at 3‑9 overall and winless in region play, faces a steep climb as they adjust to new leadership and a thin returning starter pool.
Overall, Davis’s 2025 offense averaged 42 points per game, ranking third in 6A, while their defense allowed just 21.42 points per game, placing them fifth in the classification.
