Day three of the Elite 11 Finals, featuring 20 of the nation’s top 2024 quarterback recruits, is scheduled to begin Thursday afternoon in Los Angeles.
The second night of action saw the QBs compete in a precision challenge and professional practice. The first night of the event kicked off with quarterback drills and a rail shooting challenge. Now, Signalers are ready for 7v7 action.
ELITE 11 DAY 2 TOP PERFORMERS | ELITE 11 DAY 1 TOP PERFORMERS
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 13 of the top 20 quarterbacks in the On3 Industry rankings and eight of the top 10 passers in the country. On3’s national recruiting team of Chad Simmons, Steve Wiltfong and Charles Power are on hand again Wednesday evening for the pro day and precision events, and will provide live coverage throughout.

12:44 p.m. PT: Texas A&M commits Husan Longstreet showed the strongest arm again here during his 7v7 session. I had a handful of throws that would be the best we’ve seen so far against the best defense of the four high school teams here. He reportedly had a few he would like to get back, but the arm talent continues to be very impressive. Finished 13/19 on target with 4 TD and 2 INT. — Charles Power, Director of Scouting and Rankings On3
12:24 p.m. PT: Two more good performances from Alabama begin Keelon Russell (19/25 on target, 5 TDs) and TCU commitment Ty Hawkins (15/23, 6 TDs). Russell with one of the cleaning sessions so far. He did a good job of taking what the defense gave him and taking care of the ball. I didn’t often put the ball in danger and I did it with good speed. — Charles Power, Director of Scouting and Rankings On3

11:47 a.m. PT: A somewhat choppy start but a strong end for Missouri’s commitment Matt Zollers, who scored 18 of 27 attempts and threw 6 TDs with 2 INTs. He showed the talent and high-end processing that makes him such a prized prospect for On3. He wasn’t afraid to attack on the pitch. Showed an active arm with the ability to drive the ball at all levels. He still had a few balls that weren’t coming out cleanly, but this live was the best he’d seen all week. Strong outing for the Mizzou pledge. — Charles Power, Director of Scouting and Rankings On3
11:33 a.m. PT: Missouri commits Matt Zollers and Texas commit KJ Lacey taking their reps now at either end of the field. — Charles Power, Director of Scouting and Rankings On3
11:29 a.m. PT: Oklahoma commits Kevin Sperry finished with 10 of 21 shots on target and two touchdown passes. On the other side, a good performance from Malik Washington, throwing several touchdowns. His best throw was on a ball sewn up the middle. Good zipper and showed the ability to stick it in a tight window. He finished 13/24 on target with four touchdown passes. — Charles Power, Director of Scouting and Rankings On3
11:16 a.m. PT: Iowa State commits Alex Manské ends the 7v7 13/19 session with two touchdowns and two interceptions. Strong performance of Jaron-Keawe Sagapolutele, who finished 16/20 with three TDs. Did a good job throwing with speed and location.
Oklahoma commits Kevin Sperry and four stars uncommitted Malik Washington following. — Charles Power, Director of Scouting and Rankings On3
