The Elite 11 Finals got underway Tuesday night — the first of three days of competition among 20 soon-to-be high school senior quarterbacks in Los Angeles. The invite-only event is entering its 26th year and has served as a proving ground in the past for some of the game’s brightest stars. From Jayden Daniels, CJ Stroud, Drake Maye, Caleb Williams, Bo Nix and Bryce Young to Drew Allar, Cade Klubnick, Garrett Nussmeier, Carson Beck, DJ Lagway and Dylan Raiola — the alumni list for the Elite 11 Finals is simply unrivaled.
Headlining this year’s roster are seven of the top 10 signal callers in the Top247 for class of 2026. That includes Faizon Brandon, the nation’s No. 1-ranked overall prospect. The big names will be joined by a promising group of other finalists that all profile as potential difference-makers on Saturdays and possibly even Sundays.
Action gets underway Tuesday night with an opening workout while a 20-throw scripted pro day anchors Wednesday night’s action. Thursday afternoon features 7-on-7 play before the Elite 11 staff crowns its annual top 11 quarterbacks and names an overall MVP.
