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.

12:44 p.m. PT: Texas A&M commit Husan Longstreet flashed the strongest arm here again during his 7v7 session. 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. Had a few he’d want back, but the arm talent continues to be very impressive. Finishes 13/19 on target with 4 TDs and 2 INTs. — Charles Power, On3 Director of Scouting and Rankings
12:24 p.m. PT: Two more good performances from Alabama commit Keelon Russell (19/25 on target, 5 TDs) and TCU commit Ty Hawkins (15/23, 6 TDs). Russell with one of the cleaner sessions so far.

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

11:47 a.m. PT: A bit of rollercoaster start but a strong finish for Missouri commit Matt Zollers, who was on target with 18 of 27 attempts and threw 6 TDs with 2 INTs. He showed the high end talent and processing that makes him such a highly touted prospect for On3. He was not afraid to attack downfield. Showed a live arm with the ability to drive the ball to all levels. Still had some balls that didn’t come out cleanly, but this live setting was the best he’s looked all week. Strong outing for the Mizzou pledge. — Charles Power, On3 Director of Scouting and Rankings

He finishes 13/24 on target with four touchdown passes. — Charles Power, On3 Director of Scouting and Rankings
11:16 a.m. PT: Iowa State commit Alex Manske finishes the 7v7 session 13/19 with two touchdowns and two interceptions. Strong showing from Jaron-Keawe Sagapolutele, who ends 16/20 with three TDs. Did a nice job throwing with velocity and location.
