Preview

Defending Utah Class 6A football state champion Corner Canyon opens the 2026 season with an immediate test Friday night against a Davis team loaded with returning talent and one of the state’s most intriguing new quarterbacks.

The matchup brings together two of Utah’s highest-profile programs and a long list of college prospects, giving both teams an early opportunity to establish themselves among the state’s best.

Corner Canyon Begins Title Defense Under New Leadership

Corner Canyon enters the season with a new head coach after hiring Casey Sutera away from Brighton during the offseason. Sutera takes over a Chargers program that finished No. 1 in Utah, captured the UHSAA Class 6A state championship and also competed for the inaugural Overtime Nationals championship.

While Corner Canyon has several new pieces to fit into place, the Chargers return plenty of college-level talent.

Safety Diesel Dart, a three-star prospect committed to Utah, headlines the defense. Corner Canyon also features three-star offensive tackle Moa Brown, a Fresno State commit, and three-star athlete Jackson West, another Utah commit. Sophomore cornerback AJ Anigbo, a member of the Class of 2029, is another young prospect to watch.

Davis Brings a Loaded Roster Into the Opener

Davis, meanwhile, begins the season as the No. 2 in Utah and brings back an impressive collection of playmakers.

Four-star athlete Bode Sparrow, an Oklahoma commit and one of Utah’s top-ranked prospects, leads the group. The Darts also feature three-star athlete Jaxton Itaaehau, a Utah commit, along with three-star offensive tackle Mason Bush and 2027 athlete Samuel Coleman, who is committed to Utah State.

Brodie Scheinberg Takes Over at Quarterback for Davis

One of the biggest storylines will be the debut of Davis quarterback Brodie Scheinberg.

The three-star prospect transferred from national powerhouse St. John Bosco in California and steps into an offense that produced huge numbers a year ago. Scheinberg replaces Tradon Bessinger, who threw for more than 4,000 yards and 53 touchdowns for the Darts in 2025.

That gives Scheinberg a difficult standard to follow, particularly against a Corner Canyon program accustomed to competing for championships.
