Ryan Day’s son breaks high school passing yards record as a sophomore

St. Francis DeSales sophomore quarterback RJ Day.

Over the last two years, Ryan Day has coached Ohio State to a 22-4 record with a Cotton Bowl appearance and win in the first round of the College Football Playoffs, setting up a Rose Bowl date with Oregon on New Year’s Day. His son’s high school journey has been equally impressive during that time.

R.J. Day, a sophomore at St. Francis DeSales High School (Ohio), broke the school’s passing yards record in just two years. His 2,993 passing yards over his first two seasons breaks the previous record of 2,752 set over three years from 1990-92, according to On3 and head coach Ryan Wiggins.

As a freshman, Day passed for 1,568 yards and 15 touchdowns and followed it up with 1,425 yards and 14 touchdowns this season, being named to the Second-Team All-District team, according to On3.

Day’s 2,993 passing yards in two years bodes well for the Stallions — only two years in, he already has the record, and is likely to improve over his final two seasons. The sky is the limit for this team, who went 8-3 this season but fell in the regional quarterfinals.

Ryan Day, meanwhile, is prepping Ohio State for the first-ever CFP quarterfinals after leading them over Tennessee. The winner of the Rose Bowl will advance to the Cotton Bowl.
