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.”

Like Teddy Bridgewater, Air Noland is a heady, accurate pure passer. Both have similar frames and feel for the game at the same stage. Noland was more productive as a passer at high school level.

The top of the scale — national-caliber talent that every major program pursues, with a clear NFL trajectory.

Elite / Top 100

Instinctual, accurate southpaw passer who shredded opposing defenses through the air as a junior. Was the most productive passer among top 2024 quarterbacks. Measured in at around 6-foot-2, 185 pounds with a 9-inch hand in the spring prior to his senior season. Has a streamlined frame with thinner shoulders. Had a monster junior season, completing 73.1% of his passes for 4,095 yards (12.7 yards per attempt) for 55 touchdowns against four interceptions. Led Langston Hughes to a state title in a high classification and helmed an offense that set the state record for most points scored. Shows high end field vision with the ability to go through his reads and find open receivers. At his best as a reliable distributor to talented skill players. Throws with timing and touch. Accurate to all levels and shows the ability to layer the football and locate throws into small windows. Arm strength is solid, but may not be on the level of some of his highly-ranked peers. Plays with an advanced feel and shows a nice internal clock against the pass rush. A pass-first quarterback but has some creativity and mobility when needed. One of the safest bets among quarterbacks in the 2024 cycle given his on-field success and production relative to his peers.
