Class of 2028 QB Kash Carter torches No. 1 IMG for 380 yards, 5 TDs

Kash Carter was a virtual unknown outside the DMV area before this past weekend. The Class of 2028 quarterback from The St. James Academy (Va.) changed that in a hurry.

In a 44-42 loss to nationally No. 1 ranked Bradenton (Fla.) IMG Academy, Carter completed 19-of-31 passes for 380 yards and five touchdowns. The performance came against the vaunted Ascenders, a program known for its top-flight talent.

According to www.on3.com, Carter’s numbers against IMG are not something many are able to put together. The exact date of the game is not specified in the source.

The 6-foot-3, 180-pound passer did it on the biggest stage in high school football, against a roster loaded with blue-chip recruits. The St. James Academy is ranked No. 1 in Virginia by the latest Massey Rankings, per the source.

THE NUMBERS BEHIND THE BREAKOUT

Carter’s night against IMG was no fluke. Through five regular-season games, the Class of 2028 signal caller has completed 72-of-100 passes (72 percent) for 1,315 yards, 20 touchdowns and five interceptions.

Those numbers build on a breakout 2025 campaign. The 6-foot-3, 180-pound passer threw for 2,410 yards and 27 touchdowns while adding 304 rushing yards and four scores on the ground, according to www.on3.com.

Carter has proven he can perform at a high level against top-flight competition, per the source. His performance against the Ascenders — a roster stacked with blue-chip recruits — only reinforces that track record.
