Noah Abela's 2025 Senior Season at Dawson High School
Published
Noah Abela finished his career at Dawson High School in Pearland, Texas, with a 2025 senior season that earned him Second Team All-State honors at place-kicker in Class 6A from the Blue Bell/Texas Sports Writers Association.
Wearing #24 for the Eagles, he made 17 of 22 field goals (77.3%) with a long of 51 yards, went 40-for-40 on extra points and scored 91 kicking points. His 17 made field goals ranked sixth nationally and second in Texas on MaxPreps. He also handled kickoffs, recording 40 touchbacks on 64 kicks, and punted 18 times for a 38.7-yard average.
His 51-yarder came in the first quarter of the PearBowl against No. 7 Pearland, on a night he also made a 38-yard field goal.
The defining moment came on Sept. 26, 2025, against No. 23 Shadow Creek in a District 22-6A game. Noah connected from 43 and 42 yards, then kicked the 20-yard game-winner in the second overtime for a 30-27 Dawson win.
Kohl's Kicking named him a National Top High School Performer three times that fall: in Week 4 for going 3-for-3 on field goals (47, 34 and 26 yards), in Week 6 for the Shadow Creek game, and in Week 7 for the PearBowl.
Off the field, Noah carried a 4.5 GPA at Dawson, where he also played varsity soccer.
