Elite 11 Finals 2025: Live Updates from Day 3
The final day of the 2025 Elite 11 Finals, featuring 20 of the nation’s top quarterback recruits, is underway in Los Angeles. There are few higher honors for high school quarterbacks than being invited to the event, which will celebrate its 27th year in 2025.
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. The first day featured a circuit of drill stations, followed by a ‘rail shot’ throwing challenge. Night two brings the Pro Day, where each quarterback will go through a scripted workout that mirrors what you’d see at the NFL Combine. Throwers will also compete in an accuracy challenge at the other end of the field. And Thursday, the final day, features each quarterback going through a live 7-on-7 session with skill players.
ELITE 11 DAY 2 TOP PERFORMERS | ELITE 11 DAY 1 TOP PERFORMERS
This year’s group features 15 of the top 20 quarterbacks in the On3 Industry Ranking and seven of the country’s top 10 passers. On3’s national recruiting team of Chad Simmons and Charles Power are on hand Thursday morning and will be providing live coverage throughout.
