What the numbers show
Volume and explosiveness: Eaton has averaged 7.8 yards per pass attempt and 15.9 yards per completion in six reported games. His 1,290 passing yards plus 138 rushing yards represent 1,428 combined passing and rushing yards (238.0 per game), not traditional all-purpose yards.
Second-half-of-sample surge: His last three reported games produced 807 passing yards (269.0 per game) versus 483 (161.0 per game) in the first three. The 433-yard, six-touchdown passing performance against White Oak accounts for more than half of his last-three-game total.
Ball security: The imported season line credits 12 passing touchdowns and six interceptions, a 7.3% passing-touchdown rate and 3.6% interception rate per reported pass attempt. These are descriptive, not opponent-adjusted estimates.

October 2 reporting difference
The Neuse News Sports MaxPreps import lists Eaton at 14-of-31 for 149 passing yards, 1 TD, 2 INT against Ayden-Grifton. MaxPreps’ publicly indexed game summary currently says 14-of-31 for 148 yards, while the original Neuse News Sports game story reports 16-of-28 for 131 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT. This difference needs game-stat reconciliation. The page preserves the October 8 imported six-game totals rather than silently overwriting original reporting.
