Elite11 Regional Showcases Top Quarterbacks
The Elite11 regional event was held just outside of Columbus, Ohio last weekend, attracting many of the region’s top quarterback prospects. With several Power Four commitments and future big-time players in attendance, the competition was fierce as players fought to showcase their skills and compete against each other.
IOWA:
At the camp, Iowa quarterback recruiting was highlighted by the performance of Jimmy Sullivan from Fort Wayne, Indiana. Sullivan, who committed to the Hawkeyes in December, impressed with his consistent performance throughout the event. Despite not possessing the biggest arm, Sullivan displayed accuracy and poise while throwing on the run, potentially changing the perception of Iowa’s quarterback recruiting under coach Kirk Ferentz.
KENTUCKY:
Kentucky was represented by two quarterback commits at the Elite11 regional – four-star Stone Saunders and three-star Brennen Ward. Both players showed promise, with Saunders displaying impressive numbers in his high school career and Ward demonstrating athleticism despite working back from injury. The different styles of the two quarterbacks offer excitement for Kentucky fans as they anticipate their future careers at the program.
OHIO STATE:
Ohio State had a standout performer at the camp in four-star quarterback commit Tavien St. Clair. St. Clair, who has undergone a physical transformation in recent years, impressed coaches and scouts with his mechanics and effortless throwing motion. Considered a special prospect, St. Clair’s performance at the Elite11 regional has sparked discussions of potential five-star status.
PITTSBURGH:
Mason Heintschel, a Pitt commit, caught the attention of many at the event with his impressive performance. The player of the year in his conference, Heintschel showcased a strong arm and athletic ability, amassing impressive statistics during his high school career. With the potential for a standout senior season, Pitt may need to fight to retain Heintschel’s commitment.
WEST VIRGINIA:
West Virginia secured a commitment from three-star quarterback Scotty Fox, a native of Mentor, Ohio. In a competitive landscape of quarterbacks in Ohio, Fox stood out for his athleticism and playmaking ability outside the pocket. Coach Neal Brown and his staff received praise for identifying and recruiting Fox from a talent-rich state.
Overall, the Elite11 regional event provided a platform for top quarterback prospects to exhibit their skills and compete against each other.
