[2023] Elite 11 - Day 2

[SageBow]

Nashville, TN

"Day 1 is in the books, here comes Day 2," says Coach Jim Jebow. "Day 1 we put these young quarterback's arms through the paces, and saw guys like Maximilian Howard, John Waid, and Jake O'Connor show why they are the best of the best. Lots of challenges left, let’s see who rises to the top! Today, we're going to put these guys athletic abilities to the test, before taking them into 1 on 1 film room sessions with our coaches to prep for tomorrow's 7-on-7 drills."

"Again, we only have 11 spots for our 20 young quarterbacks, lets see the current rankings as they stand:"

Event #3 - The Combine

"Can't ever have a camp without making these kids run the 40 can we," Jebow laughs. "At this point, all the really good quarterbacks have to be able to extend plays and be a factor in their team's run game. It's just hard to be successful without it. We're big believers of the SPARQ score, Speed, Power, Agility, Reaction, and Quickness. All major aspects of just how athletic a player is. These kids ran the 40, did a 20 yard shuttle, power ball throw, vertical jump."

"A shocking winner honestly, Maryland commit Brandon Peters tore it up on his way to one of the most dominant athletic performances we've ever seen. In the pack behind him, Joshua Hopton and Jerry Thompson shined. First bad performance for Marcus Sudler, this is going to hurt his chances to make the Elite 11."

The Combine Scores (SPARQ):

Brandon Peters - 100

Joshua Hopton - 94

Jerry Thompson - 92

Event #4 - The Film Room

"In preparation for the scrimmage, we gathered our QBs together to have 1-on-1 sessions about any questions they had on the playbooks they were given on Day 1. After running through various plays, and talking about what they liked and didn't like, we tested all these kids on their knowledge of the calls. This is crucially important at the collegiate levels. You have to know the playbook, you have to know the calls, you have to know how to set protections and run audibles."

"A pack of 3 lead the way intellectually, Ignacio Ashford, Sargeant Slaughter, and Michael Hitchens wowwed the coaches. Once again, Marcus Sudler struggled after a fantastic Day 1."

Film Room Test Scores:

Ignacio Ashford - 97

Sargeant Slaughter - 94
