Alabama football quarterback commit Keelon Russell was named MVP of the Elite 11 finals, becoming the first Alabama commit to win the award since Tua Tagovailoa in 2016. The four-star prospect from Duncanville, Texas, flipped his commitment to Alabama earlier in June and is ranked as the No. 6 quarterback in the 2025 class.
C.J. Stroud, the rookie quarterback for the Houston Texans, has had a remarkable journey to stardom. Growing up in a storage facility apartment with his mother and enduring his father's incarceration, Stroud faced numerous challenges. However, his determination and talent led him to excel in high school football, eventually earning him a spot in the prestigious Elite 11 competition. Despite initially being overlooked, Stroud's MVP performance at the Elite 11 caught the attention of college coaches, leading him to Ohio State. Now, as a rising star in the NFL, Stroud is using his platform to support families facing similar struggles and has launched a charitable foundation with a focus on single mothers, children of incarcerated parents, and criminal justice reform.
Ohio State 2024 quarterback commit, Air Noland, impressed at the Elite 11 quarterback camp, finishing as the second-best quarterback behind only Dylan Raiola. Noland entered the camp as the No. 5 quarterback in the country and 37th overall player, but his performance may lead to a rise in the rankings. Despite being left-handed and at a disadvantage in some drills, Noland held his own and proved to be a valuable addition to the Buckeyes' 2024 recruiting class.
The Elite 11 quarterback competition showcased some impressive talent, including Georgia commit Dylan Raiola and Alabama commit Julian Sayin. Uncommitted QB Trever Jackson also impressed with his raw talent and athleticism. Ohio State commit Air Noland and Texas Tech commit Will Hammond were among the other standout performers. The event provided a good window into the 2024 quarterback class, but the lack of game-like situations made it difficult to evaluate the play-making component of the position.
Georgia football QB commits Dylan Raiola and Ryan Puglisi competed at the first night of the Elite 11 national quarterback showcase in California, going back-to-back on several throwing drills and at multiple stations. DawgNation put together over six minutes of video of the two of them either warming up or in drill work. The event includes 20 of the nation’s top quarterbacks vying for the annual Elite 11 MVP honor.
Future Michigan Wolverines QB Jadyn Davis stood out at the Elite 11 competition, despite a recent drop in his ranking. The Wolverines also extended a new QB offer to Tavien St. Clair in the 2025 class, while four-star QB Ryan Montgomery continues to visit the campus. The team's QB recruiting efforts are looking promising, thanks to the work of quarterbacks coach Kirk Campbell.
