Ankeny (Iowa) four-star quarterback and Iowa State commit JJ Kohl traveled to Los Angeles with one goal in mind: earn an invite to the Elite 11 Finals.

He did exactly that and will return to L.A. on June 26 to compete alongside the country’s top signal-callers. He becomes the first Cyclones commit since Hunter Dekkers in 2019 to earn an invite to the country’s most prestigious quarterback event.

Few invitations mean as much as the Elite 11 Finals do to high school quarterbacks. The event, which will celebrate its 23rd year in 2022, brings together the country’s elite signal-callers for four days of competition and training from former NFL quarterback Trent Dilfer and a host of others.

Elite 11 alumni include Carson Palmer, Andrew Luck, Matthew Stafford, Tim Tebow, and more recently Trevor Lawrence, C.J. Stroud, Bryce Young and more. Last year’s Elite 11 Finals featured 13 of the top 20 quarterbacks in the final 2022 On3 Consensus Rankings, including each of the top six players at the position.

As invites go out over the next few months after Elite 11 Regionals across the country, we’re tracking the prospects who — barring injury or schedule conflict — will head to Los Angeles in late June and compete for the title of the country’s top quarterback in the 2023 class.

JJ Kohl joins some of the biggest names across the country as finalists this year, includes five-stars Malachi Nelson, Nico Iamaleava and Dante Moore. Find the full list of participants here.
