Through his first three seasons of varsity football at Fairburn (Georgia) Langston Hughes, Air Noland threw for 8,024 yards and 104 touchdowns. This includes a 2022 season that saw him pass for more than 4,095 yards and 55 scores. He also completed 73% of his passes, helping Langston Hughes win the 6A state title. Noland led an offense that broke Georgia's state record for most points (792) in a single-season. Plus, he earned second-team All-America honors from MaxPreps. Even with all that success, Hughes coach Boone Williams said Noland still has room to grow. “The final piece of the puzzle with him is staying consistent and showing everybody it’s not a gimmick,” Williams told the Chase Thomas podcast. “He has to compete the way he did and do it at a high level, control the games as he did. But I have no doubt that he will, and that he’s going to continue to develop and mature as a quarterback and a leader.”
