Here are the most efficient individual offensive players from all eight of the 2024 N.C. High School Athletic Association state finalists. These numbers go beyond some of the basic stats on MaxPreps and focus on averages instead of totals.

For rushing, we used a qualifier of 20 carries. For receiving, we used a qualifier of 10 receptions. All of these numbers are dependent on teams posting accurate game stats to MaxPreps or sending accurate stats to us directly.
