Ohio State Commit QB Breaks Major Football Record With 446-Yard, 6-TD Performance
Ohio State commit Brady Edmunds delivered a record-breaking performance, throwing for 446 yards and six touchdowns to lead Huntington Beach to a 42-14 win over Millikan. The senior quarterback's stellar night has solidified his status as one of the nation's top prospects.
Record Night for Edmunds Propels Huntington Beach to 42-14 Win
Huntington Beach senior quarterback Brady Edmunds delivered a performance for the ages on Thursday night, setting a school record with 446 passing yards and accounting for six touchdowns in a dominant 42-14 road victory over Millikan. The Ohio State commit completed 25 of 32 passes, a career-best, and added 30 yards on the ground.
Edmunds, who had hinted at a breakout performance in a social media post two weeks prior, was nearly flawless from the start. His lone blemish came on an interception to Millikan defensive back Matteo Palma on the second play after halftime, but by then he had already led the Oilers to a 21-0 lead.
Bruce Emerges as Top Target
A key to Edmunds' success was his connection with senior wide receiver Dylin Bruce, who hauled in 10 receptions for 225 yards and three touchdowns.
"I caught the ball, I'd seen green grass," Bruce said of his first touchdown. "I had to go. I knew it was my touchdown."
Bruce's breakout performance was a major factor in Huntington Beach's ability to pull away in the second half, turning a 14-0 halftime lead into a blowout.
Coach Pellum: 'He's a Really Good Quarterback'
Millikan head coach Romeo Pellum was full of praise for Edmunds after the game, calling him "probably number one in the country, in my opinion." Pellum noted Edmunds' ability to make all types of throws, saying he can "pick you apart" whether a defense plays off or presses.
Career Milestones Within Reach
The game also served as a showcase for Edmunds' remarkable career numbers. The 6-foot-5, 220-pound signal-caller has now thrown for 9,083 yards and 98 touchdowns in 37 games with the Oilers, and is on pace to surpass 10,000 career passing yards before the Delta League schedule resumes on Oct. 2.
Recruiting Saga Behind Him
Edmunds, who committed to Ohio State in December 2024, briefly wavered in his pledge earlier this year when the Buckeyes were in contact with other quarterbacks. However, he announced in July that he was shutting down his recruitment, writing on X that "Columbus is home." He is rated a four-star prospect and is among the top-20 quarterback prospects in the country according to both Rivals and 247Sports Composite.

Each row is one claim, attributed to the outlet whose wording states it most clearly. Confidence rates how directly the source text states the claim — explicit and unhedged rates high; hedged, pieced-together, or internally inconsistent statements rate lower. It does not measure whether the claim is true. Status counts the distinct outlets we found asserting it — so a single-source claim can still show high confidence, and a multi-source claim can show medium. Every one of those outlets is named beside the status, so you can check the count against the list. For claims extracted before we began storing that list, the row says so: it names the outlet the claim is quoted from and states that we have not recorded which outlets backed it. Outlets wrote at different times, so a figure that evolves — a casualty count, for example — can legitimately differ between rows; check the "as of" time next to each claim's source.

ClaimCoach Pellum said Edmunds is hard to defend because of his competitive fire and variety of throws, and that "he can pick you apart: if you're playing off, he's going to throw short; if you're lacking, he's going to take his shots. And he has good on the ball. But we had our opportunities–when we made mistakes, he made us pay."
ClaimIn an X post, Edmunds said: "I am shutting down my recruitment. I'm grateful to all the programs that showed interest in me, but Columbus is home. Looking forward to competing and helping bring another National Championship back to the state of Ohio! Go Bucks!!!"
