"Awesome weekend," said Jebow, "Time for the finale. The 7-on-7 competition. All week we worked on these kids arms, and then spent time yesterday training their heads and their feel for the game, teaching new plays. Now they need to put all these concepts together and perform against the best talent in the world in a live situation. After Day 2, the current rankings are below.

Event #5 - 7 on 7

"The way we've got this set up may be a bit convoluted, but we had to do it this way to get everyone even reps against all the talented defensive back's we've got at this camp. We split the entire camp into five teams, led by members of our coaching staff. Each team gets four quarterbacks competing for Elite 11 positions. All quarterbacks get 2 drives each, and after their drives the quarterbacks are rotated to a different team. If anything, this is the most subjective challenge. We're judging these guys on how many "good" drives they have, out of a possible 10. The quarterbacks receive the plays that we've been coaching up on in the film room, and its up to them to make it happen with a constantly rotating cast of receivers around them. Make the right read, execute the correct pass, extend the pocket with your legs, and run if you have to! We want to see how ready they are for the college game and this is the most important evaluation, worth double of everything before. Now let’s see how our coaches placed these players."

Rudolph Carlos - 8

"Two kids from the Southwest shined, Southwest MVP Rudolph Carlos was as in command as we've ever seen, and Film Room Selection Leonard Harlow showed off crisp and clear execution with his arm. Michigan commit Willis Humphrey and Temple commit Joshua "Turbo" Trbovich rounded out the star performances in the scrimmage. This has been a wonderful group of kids to work with, one of the best Elite 11 classes we've ever had here in the finals."

"Before we announce the final rankings, just wanted to say thank you for everyone who helped put the Elite 11 event together. First off, @SageBow for his generous donations to the facility to allow us to fund this all important camp for quarterback development. Then @Rocketcan, helping our scouting department put together the plan for the regionals and the invitations. Finally @TuscanSota for all of his assistance with setting up the drills. Now without further adieu, here is YOUR 2024 ELITE 11!!"

Elite 11 Trivia

To date, all but 2 Regional MVPs have made the Elite 11 - both in 2021. Winning the regionals matter!

After the first two seasons where 7 film room pick selections made the Elite 11, in 2023 and 2024 only 1 film room pick has made the Elite 11. Winning the regionals matter!

Every 5* has made the Elite 11

We have only had two archetypes win the Elite 11 MVP - Pocket/Pocket/Balanced/Balanced

Jonathan Jackson is the first and only ATH to make the Elite 11

Every Elite 11 year has generated at least 2 true freshman starting QBs - hope this stat continues!

2021 - Savage / Washington

2022 - Hui / Simmons

2023 - Howard / Waid

Beckmann looks insane dude, one of the biggest winners of the weekend. I know you've got to be excited about a 4 star performing that well

Absolutely and there's also not really anyone else on the roster right now that stands out as someone who could challenge him. Love to have a PA guy as the face of the team!
