ELITE 11 DAY 2 TOP PERFORMERS | ELITE 11 DAY 1 TOP PERFORMERS
There are few higher honors for high school quarterbacks than being invited to the event, which will celebrate its 26th year in 2024. It brings together the country’s elite signal-callers for three days of competition, skill work and training, which culminates with a 7-on-7 skills showcase on Thursday night.
Each of the prospects was selected after being a top performer during one of the event’s eight regional feeder camps.
This year’s group features 13 of the top 20 quarterbacks in the On3 Industry Ranking and eight of the country’s top 10 passers. On3’s national recruiting team of Chad Simmons, Steve Wiltfong, and Charles Power are on hand again Wednesday night for the pro day and accuracy events, and will be providing live coverage throughout.

Had a handful of throws that would be the best we’ve seen so far while facing the best defense of the four high school teams here.

Didn’t put the ball in jeopardy often and thew with good velocity. — Charles Power, On3 Director of Scouting and Rankings
