The Elite 11 has grown into the premier high school quarterback camp in the nation after 19 years of successful results (1999-17). With the backing of Nike, regional camps are hosted across the U.S. to help identify the best of the best culminating in the Elite 11 Finals. The Elite 11 Finals are three days of grueling challenges stretching the invited quarterbacks mentally and physically on and off the field. The 2017 competition wrapped up on Sunday with the finalist invited to The Opening in Oregon announced on Monday.
The 2017 competition had 25 finalists battling it out with the activities taking place at Redondo Union High School in Los Angeles. Each quarterback was evaluated based on classroom work, on the field results, and coachability.
