Day one of the Elite 11 Finals, featuring 20 of the nation’s top quarterback recruits for 2024, is scheduled to begin Tuesday evening in Los Angeles.
There are few greater honors for high school quarterbacks than being invited to the event, which will celebrate its 26th anniversary in 2024. It brings together the nation’s elite signal-callers for three days of competition, technical work and training, which ends with a 7 out of 7 Skills Showcase on Thursday evening.
Each of the prospects was selected after being a top performer during one of the event’s eight regional seed camps.
This year’s group includes 14 of the top 20 quarterbacks in the On3 Industry rankings and nine of the top 10 passers in the country. The On3 National Recruiting Team of Chad Simmons, Steve Wiltfong and Charles Power are on hand Tuesday night for the first pitch session and will provide live coverage throughout.
